Pros

Continues to inovate with successful new product launches. Great training when you come onboard. Logistics, product quality, and policies are consistent. Great Area Managers that are knowledgable and resourceful. Marketing provides great materials to help you sell.

Cons

Being asked to do more with less more and more. Must be ready to move. As soon as you don't you lose all support. Mid-management can be vindictive and withold promotions if you aren't willing to pick up and move to anywhere they want to send you. Mid management is out of touch with what is realistic and they apply standards nationwide with no regard for regional differences. They continue to rely, measure, and evaluate on quantity instead of quality of work activity.

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.
