Pros

Health insurance was great, employees were generally friendly, most employees worked as a team.

Cons

Unprofessional managers. No respect for a college degree, mine was even in the field. I was a management trainee, one manager literally told me "if you don't use it you lose it" in respect to her degree and laughed! I did not just pay ~100,000 to not use my degree! That manager has since been promoted! Seaboard lives in constant paranoia about animal rights activist. Also, nursery farms only have one employee on the farm, and with no cell phones allowed you better hope you don't get injured out on the farm. Very unprofessional atmosphere and they burned through lower level employees quite frequently. I was getting paid well if I was only working a 40 hour a week full time job but I was averaging around 60-65 hours/week
