Pros

As a salaried worker, I feel very supported and trusted by management here. I know all managers are different but all of my managers so far have been very hands off but there if you need them, which I enjoy. Benefits are so-so but definitely improving each year as employees demand more. For most roles, they are pretty flexible about your work schedule which is super nice this day in age. From what I have seen, you have many opportunities to advance in your career, or even move to a different area if you don’t like what you were currently doing. Salary in my opinion is pretty decent and maybe even a little above average.

Cons

Company is based in the south so their views are a little tailored to certain beliefs which can cause a lot of frustration and discrimination at times. While they have a DE&I council, some of the groups get lack of air time and funding compared to others which is a big problem in my eyes. For example, the Women @ Sonoco or LGBT+ group often don’t get as many events or budget to plan events, etc. compared the the Veterans @ Sonoco group. Senior leadership is mostly white males but have gotten a few women in leadership roles over the years (still mostly white though). So, diversity is a bit of an issue but I know they are trying to actively change that.

Good for a stint, but not a career

Pros

- fair salary - work/life balance - good opportunities for the beginning of a career

Cons

- leadership is weak. Not strategic. - favoritism and nepotism are at the highest levels of the organization - the company every few years will reorganize and get rid of many talented people - major brain drain! -Diversity is a joke. You see just the right number of women/minorities at high levels to look the part
