Pros

Fairly decent salary-- on par with industry standards, upward mobility, stable growth, and diverse, strong portfolio of brands and products.

Cons

Culture is not diverse or inclusive. More focused on achieving "results" than nurturing and growing their diverse talent. Micro-managing is rampant. Had I known this company placed a higher value on $ than human beings, I would not have accepted my offer.

Pros

I love working at Hormel, its easy to say but this really is a tight knit family culture, the people are what make this company awesome. I am given the freedom to express my skills and perform to the best of my availabilities without anyone looking over my shoulder. Hormel gives their employees the room and space to shine, the tools and support to grow and develop. The sky is truly the limit here as far as how far you want to go if you are willing to commit and work hard.

Cons

I dont think its a con however, some might. In some cases you may need to be willing to move to different cities or states to progress your career, however the company will pay to move you.

Pros

Learn something new everyday. Teaches you how to manage people.

Cons

Non-traditional hours and schedule. Be willing to have those difficult conversations.
