Kerry is toxic...unless you have the right team - Anonymous employee Kerry Employee Review

Pros

1. Summer hours are pretty awesome. Sonic Boom is a great and unrated/underused rewards program. 2. If you end up on a team of good people, those people will likely be the best thing about Kerry. However, the odds are not in your favor. They truly do exist, and it's a wonderful breath of fresh air when you finally meet someone great.

Cons

1. Most people look the other way when faced with toxic behavior and will perpetuate it to fit in or survive the same culture themselves. 2. Work/life balance is a huge issue. People at Kerry wear working well over 40 hrs a week nearly ever week of the year as a badge of honor. You will likely be pressured to work over whatever hourage you agreed to. You could even be asked to be available via phone while on PTO. 3. "Diversity is important to Kerry" is a false statement. If you are interviewing with Kerry and care about diversity, ask about female leader representation, ask about PRIDE, ask about the Black Lives Matter movement stance in 2020 and where it currently stands. Then, ask to see a shred of action and/or proof. 4. Upward movement is really, really challenging to get. You can overperform for all your yearly goals years in a row and still not see compensation: in title or meaningful financial raise.

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.
