Pros

Family owned company with great co-workers who are very loyal

Cons

Too many silos delay getting anything done. Company has a lot of politics that are driving away great talent and keeping the company stagnant instead of progressing with the times.

Pros

Foster Farms is a company in turmoil and unsure of its own identity or role in the CPG world. The Foster Farms brand is strong and has a great following and equity but times are passing this once vibrant company by. There are certainly some good products and people but even those are dated.

Cons

The overarching word for Foster Farms is political corruption. The company is basically run by several of the 'good old boys' that have been there for ages. Good/hard work does not matter at all here. What gets you promoted is who you know. Promotions are not based on merit but rather politics. Bad behavior is routinely rewarded. There is a really bad vibe in the new office that is being caused by very bad management at the top. I would not recommend working here unless you plan on coming to Livingston and becoming part of the network. HR is not to be trusted here at all.
