Pros

Health insurance was great, employees were generally friendly, most employees worked as a team.

Cons

Unprofessional managers. No respect for a college degree, mine was even in the field. I was a management trainee, one manager literally told me "if you don't use it you lose it" in respect to her degree and laughed! I did not just pay ~100,000 to not use my degree! That manager has since been promoted! Seaboard lives in constant paranoia about animal rights activist. Also, nursery farms only have one employee on the farm, and with no cell phones allowed you better hope you don't get injured out on the farm. Very unprofessional atmosphere and they burned through lower level employees quite frequently. I was getting paid well if I was only working a 40 hour a week full time job but I was averaging around 60-65 hours/week

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.
