Pros

Lots of locations Opportunites for career growth (But you could be plant manager and make less then an average process engineer with 3-5 years of experience at a different company) Manufacture some cool products

Cons

Extremely below average pay for engineers - $10,000-$20,000 less then average entry level engineering salary. Kerry does not attract the best and brightest. Tons of uneducated people that have important decision making roles. Very very very low pay. Average to below average benefits. No bonuses This company started in Ireland and favors Irish people. That is factual and is clearly out in the open. Communication from top to bottom is poor. If you work at a plant, it is a standard manufacturing facility where you work 45-60 hours a week.

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.
