Pros

Trying my best to stay positive for this review: Opportunities are available, decent benefits

Cons

When I first interviewed and considered a position with Kerry, I was honored and was very naïve about employee reviews at this company. I would constantly hear about high employee turnover and was quite surprised at first. However, I came to hear and see a lot during my position. Kerry has such high employee turnover. Being in an engineering role, I quickly came to note that new engineers typically only stay from <1-3 years, many of their manufacturing sites have serious upper management issues. I have heard Kerry has good quality management but from what I have seen and heard, it is such a joke. Their grad program is so pointless and worthless. If you apply and are accepted, I would urge you to reconsider and learn more about the company. Many of their grads are placed in locations that are honestly in the middle of nowhere. NA headquarters itself is in the middle of nowhere. If you are young, I encourage you to find alternate companies. A lot of times, new employees are given very little direction regarding their role. I was told to not worry about their PDP. There is very little to no diversity in Kerry. What a lot of people in glassdoor comment about race is correct and I hate to admit it. Most of Kerry is predominantly white. It is not a worthwhile company at all.

Pros

There really isn't much idle time. Plenty of work orders and PM's to do each shift.

Cons

No advancement, None. The company has been through several hiring freezes, and most departments are short handed. It has been a revolving door. Instead of filling the positions they have just doubled the workload on the employees.
