Good Pay for Beginners, Upper management was terrible. 1 Year was too long to work here. Avoid at All Costs. - Project Engineer Morton Salt Employee Review

Pros

Its a big company with great benefits. The 401k retirement plan really stands out. You get to see the products made in just about any grocery store, so the brand is easily recognizable. Easy Job, so easy I never once used the degree I earned for this position.

Cons

Upper management was terrible. I was rudely put down and spoken down to by upper management, mainly HR, because I made decisions they didn't like. Nepotism runs rampant. Retaliation is Common. Gossip spreads like wildfire. Employees are leaving in droves, they all complain about management. Many people are over worked. Supervisors like to pawn off their work to other departments because they don't want to sit and do the training with contractors. Shady Business practices. Extremely disconnected from the headquarters in Chicago. Many times, I was left waiting for project approvals because purchasers in Chicago would only respond by email. Phone calls were never answered.
