Sonoco (SC) reviews

They offer a decent starting salary and two weeks vacation straight out of college but the real benefit comes with the ability to move within the company. They are dedicated to making sure that you are in the right spot. Many salary employees that I've met have worked in multiple divisions. The company has lots of career employees and some that start their career elsewhere but once they get hired by Sonoco they stick around. Sonoco has a family atmosphere which is rare for such a large company. They seem to put a lot of focus on the Emerging Leader Program, they really want each Emerging Leader to succeed. The head of the program reaches out to all of the ELP employees monthly. Each plant also provides a mentor. Their is no specific path to follow with the program so if you are the type of person who likes change it's possible to be doing something completely different every few months. Within my first three months with the company I had learned every production job and was shift supervising. It's likely that in six months from now I could be doing something completely different. This position gives you the opportunity to learn many if not all aspects of the business you join.

Family friendly, great opportunities for career advancement, great pay
