Pros

I loved most of my coworkers. Working at Sonoco felt like a family. They pay well also. I enjoyed waking up every morning to go to work. If you fit in well and don't step on the wrong toes, it's a wonderful place to be.

Cons

The favoritism at Sonoco is like a disease. The point system only strictly applies to some. I was fired for supposedly going over my 3-point maximum during my 90 day probationary period. However, my time card never worked, it seems suspicious that I had any points at all. Once I received my termination letter, none of the points that were discussed at my "firing" were on there. In addition, I never even finished my full orientation, which means I never got to ask any questions concerning the full attendance policy or the any of the safety regulations. Also, the new supervisor who fired me had missed a few days himself and been more than 30 mins late and left more than two hours early. I was committed to my work and truly loved it there. However, it seemed someone was out to get me. I did however, always feel on edge about the possibility of losing my job,

Pros

Pay was ok, good benefits

Cons

Nothing is worth the way long term salaried employees are treated. I had to take my case to the EEOC. Plant Manager was a horrible self absorbed hateful man. I filed complaints with HR, nothing happened. The stress this man put me through caused me physical illness. Stay away from this company unless you want to be berated by management.

A "Good" Company---not a "Great" Company

Pros

Very conservative and cash / dividend focused company. Probably a very good company to have in your investment portfolio if you are looking for consistent dividend returns.

Cons

A very insulated and inwardly focused company. Some of the company's leaders also have a tendency to be quite arrogant and have a belief that the company does everything right and does not need to change a thing. The company has not grown organically---only via acquisitions that are disparate in their own right.
