Little place to grow, low-ball pay, inflexible hours - Anonymous employee Seaboard Foods Employee Review

Pros

Great benefits, people are nice in general

Cons

Unorganized and inflexible management. Leaving work before 5 pm is frowned upon ( even for those who go in before 8 and was wanting to leave at 4:30 ). Little promotion to the people at the bottom of the food chain. Low-balled your pay even if you have an advanced degree. "Management trainee" means you're not an actual "FTE". You don't get bonuses even if you do great work and it takes them forever to assign you a title - to become an actual FTE, while they keep promoting people above you. Difficult to accept "new changes" - such as new technologies, approaches .. etc and unwilling to new things.

Pros

Some of the people are great but few and far between.

Cons

A majority of the managers are unprofessional and do not know how to manage a team. System and processes are antiquated yet they are jumping on the AI bandwagon and contractors have been let go. Benefits aren’t stellar and the pay and PTO have not kept up with industry standards. If considering for employment, beware the interview is as good as it gets.
