      Pros

      I had a great experience while working at Hormel for the most part. The managers there are somewhat helpful but in order to succeed you need to be self motivated.

      Cons

      One of the biggest downsides about working at Hormel is the fact that they will not hesitate to move you around the country if you are promoted.

      Great place to start a career, but not sustainable

      Pros

      Hormel has an excellent entry level training program. Their pay, benefits and opportunitties for growth are excellent for a single kids right out of college. The entry level training managers are wonderful and truly care about their new employees

      Cons

      Every job is a "pass through" job and senior leadership believes every employee should have a desire and a drive to be the next VP. You are expected to move every 2-3 years and grudges are held if you say "no". Work/Life balance is something that is talked about a lot, but it stops there, it's only lip service! Face time is valued over productivity and senior management has a huge lack of trust and respect for their employees. Additionally, there is a HUGE disconnect between senior management and the characteristics/values of the X and Y generations. Instead of trying to adapt to the changing work force, they are trying to change us- this is not going to work! Hence the reason the turnover rate among these generations is very high at Hormel After about 4 to 5 years, the salary is no longer competitive with peer companies and begins to fall below average.

      Pros

      benefits, nice people to work for

      Cons

      can be forced to take a shift that is less than pleasurable until seniority is established
