Pros

Good benefits & Salary; Coworkers are amazing

Cons

Executive leadership is out of touch with reality. They make decisions that their own leadership teams can't explain. They don't take responsibility for the implications of the decisions they make & they attempt to "motivate" the team by telling us to "do better" when results aren't good.

Cons

Leadership has made it very clear that all of their employees are expendable and we're just numbers to them. They preach the 5 C's but they don't act on them. They are acting erratically making huge decisions that uproot lives without any honest reason communicated to us. Here are some things that have happened since late August. Most have been told remote work is over and we're back to 5 days a week effective immediately. We also never received a formal email about this. Our VPs had to spread this news to their teams and carry that burden without much information. Many have been quietly laid off without warning - This includes VPs and directors who have decades of experience with Tyson. Our EVPs now have multiple huge titles while roles are being absorbed. One person is our EVP Chief Legal Officer & Secretary, Global Governance & Corporate Affairs, President of International, & Chief Administrative Officer. Most recently, it was announced that we're closing all other corporate offices and moving everyone to Springdale. No options for anyone to work remotely. They can move or they can leave and Tyson will replace them. We don't even have a permanent home for them because wait... there's more! We're building/remodeling these new fancy corporate offices that look super expensive and unnecessary. I guess they're trying to make it more fun for everyone to come in 5 days a week for no reason? Everything won't be done for years, but everyone needs to move here by next summer. Many of us are frustrated. The punches keep coming. I know we're not done. Tyson only cares about their stock prices and they'll do whatever it takes to raise them.

Pros

The only thing I can think of is the pay is on par with where it should be. This company took away any other pros when it abruptly changed to a mandatory 5 days in office.

Cons

Leadership does not care about it's employees. Company leadership implemented a mandatory 5 days in office with no warning. They do not value their employees or their work/life balance. Finding parking is terrible, then you have to walk for 5 minutes in the elements, as there is no coverage. Inside is a cube farm with absolutely no privacy. Everyone is on online meetings, so you hear everything and when on calls, you hear everything from someone's back ground when they come off mute to talk. This makes it extremely hard to concentrate or focus on your own work. There are not a lot of windows, so being inside is depressing. They do not have space for all employees, but yet made everyone come back to the office. The office is a toxic environment. Too many people worried about what others are doing and if they are in the office or not. People come in when they are sick and spread it to others. Cafeteria lines are way too long and they run out of food quite often.
