Hormel reviews

HR has hamstrung the organization and lacks the talent to position the company for a changing business environment Senior leadership team is a mixed bag of accidental appointments. Many would not have the qualifications to apply for their job in a peer company. Talks about innovation but does not deliver. Company says it respects the individual, then promotes bullies. Underperforming employees are allowed to stay in positions for years or are repeatedly transferred to other departments with the same results.

They do not always promote the best person for the job. Hormel is very focused on promoting women and minorities into management currently, which I believe is much needed as upper management is almost all white males, however, the best person for the job should be promoted and that hasn't always been the case in recent years. Also, Hormel tends to keep around employees, even if it is clear to everyone that the employee is not meeting the minimum job requirements, which can be very frustrating to management and co-workers who are impacted by the inadequate employees.
