Pros

-Most leadership was approachable, very polite and made a point to know you by name -Seaboard is very charitable and supported their employees health goals, there were several instances where if a group got together on a 5k, we could ask the company to pay our fees and sometimes they would even supply us with shirts! -Great events to support employees, many morale boosting events to bring everyone together. -great benefits -very fair pay -promote from within -wonder work life balance - very fair!

Cons

-Very hard to suggest changes -people that have been there for 20+ years do not change process well (or at all) -Promoting individuals with no management experience to manager jobs - the entire team suffers
