Thank you for your review and five-star rating. Our teams raise pigs to feed people, and although it is hard work, we believe there are few jobs more important than that. Our employees are the cornerstone of our business, which is why we provide training programs, advancement opportunity and help them feel connected to what we do every step of the way. In your review, you mentioned the pay and benefits as a positive as an employee working for our company. We pride ourselves in providing competitive pay, a strong benefit package and extra perks so our employees can be taken care of when they are at work and away. We are pleased you are enjoying those benefits for your health and happiness.

Pros

Pay is decent and benefits are good. People are friendly. They are finally trying to improve efficiency and processes rather than just doing things the same way they've always been done.

Cons

They don't promote from within. I am a top performer in my group and I've applied for several positions within the company throughout the years, both lateral moves and promotions, and been passed up. Some of those positions were given to outside applicants. I guess I don't know the right people. Also, regarding work concerns I have been told by upper management - Do what you're supposed to do and don't worry about what anyone else does and if you don't like it, leave.

Thank you for your feedback. At Seaboard Foods, our corporate office has grown rapidly and we believe employees do best when they feel connected and understand why we do what we do. That’s why we foster a culture of asking why. Because we have questioned practices, analyzed practices and invested in improvements, we have been able to grow the business and provide new opportunities for our employees. Our process is to post each position, review all qualified applicants and select the a candidate who is most likely to be successful in the position while meeting the company’s business needs. While we often promote internally, we recognize that some positions require skillsets that don’t align well with every internal candidate. Our people are our number one investment; therefore we encourage our employees to work with their manager and human resources to share and discuss their needs, ideas, and concerns about their career goals.
