Sonoco - A Hidden Gem

Pros

I've been working at Sonoco for almost a year now, and they are without a doubt the best employer I've ever had. They truly invest in their employees' careers by offering things like tuition assistance, training programs, networking events, and promoting from within. There are so many opportunities for advancement within the company, and Sonoco does everything they can to help you succeed. They have many other employee benefits including: -onsite health center -frequent networking opportunities -flexible work arrangements (in certain departments) -401k match -mentoring program I feel very luck to work at Sonoco. I work at the corporate office in Hartsville and Sonoco is hands-down the best employer in the Pee-Dee area.

Cons

The only negative things I have to say about Sonoco is that as a new employee, the hiring process was long and my training wasn't very thorough. It took me almost three months from the date of my first interview to begin working. After I started working, there was no formal training, and I sometimes didn't understand my job duties.

Good and bad

Pros

Good working hours with an early finish on Friday. Some opportunities for career progression, albeit limited due to constant streamlining.

Cons

Nit picking management, some favouritism as well. Too much health and safety preaching, but only when it suits them. Lack of compassion towards employees on shop floor nearing the end of my employment there, which is one of a few reasons I chose to leave having been there well over a decade.
