Pros

- This position is great for one who wants to continue to feed their wealth of knowledge without attending a college atmosphere - Great for anyone who can succeed with minimal guidance and accept that he or she will make mistakes and learn from then. - A $5,000 promotion is given on your 6 month anniversary with potential of receiving it before - Reviews are conducted at the end of every fiscal year and raises are given every March. - Based on your review you can receive a 20% bonus on top of your salary for Christmas, a neutral review is 10%. - Each employee has the opportunity to have networking opportunities - Great atmosphere for an individual who is outgoing and results driven

Cons

- Don't expect a 5 star training upon starting, you will be fed to the wolves in order to see if you will sink of swim. Over 50% of new hires don't make it 6 months. - Not an 8 and skate job, You will work a minimum 10 hour day. - Hours works makes you wish you were an hourly associate versus salaried at times. - Weekend pay consists of 20% additional pay for each extra day worked, an extra vacation day can me gained instead of the pay. This is an improvement from recent years i have been told, but how is it fair that an hourly associate makes double time and a supervisor gets straight time. - Company is full of lifers who sit in entry positions that are desired with no want to be promoted - Company preaches a work-life balance but just finishing up my first year I work 37 our of 52 weekends, many in which included both Saturday's and Sundays. - Those that do not network and have connections typically are overseen for promotions. - A health analysis is given after 2 years of employment, those who are overweight are charged weekly by the company based on your bill of health, up to $8 a week.

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.
