Pros

Great place to work! They treat their employees well. Great pay, great benefits. If you come and do your job, there is no chance you will get laid off. Very stable work environment. Opportunities for growth. Very hands on, open door policy with management.

Cons

There are multiple locations so sometimes you don't get the day-to-day interaction with every one of the 5,000 employees that work for Seaboard.

Worse experience in my career

CEO approval

Business Outlook

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.
