Pros

Competitive salary and some good benefit options like vacation purchase. Good people

Cons

Way behind the times, this company is stuck in their ways and is incredibly cheap and lean. Horrific work life balance. The Accounting department expects you to submit your life to the company and you are rewarded by the number of hours you work. Leadership is not supportive of having families or having any priorities that conflict with work. They preach flexibility but are not flexible one bit. There is not concern for others well being or happiness.

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.
