Pros

None. Literally every CPG out there is better in every way.

Cons

Poor management, HR sits on their hands when you notify them of a problem— absolutely worthless. No support from an ongoing training and development standpoint. Very male-dominated culture. Uptight, and not diverse. I would even say my experience working here was hostile at times. From being told my clothing was “distracting the men on my team” to being given a company car with a blown tire and no brakes on my first day. They. Do. Not. Care. About their employees. You’re a cog. They’re the machine. Biggest mistake of my career.

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.
