Women have a difficult time succeeding
Pros
Nice building, opportunities to move to different areas. Family-owned.
Cons
Unfortunately, Simplot has not adapted quickly enough to keep up with current trends. It’s very difficult to succeed as a female if you have opinions. Being nice and not speaking up is encouraged. Women who have strong opinions are very often labeled as difficult. The sales recently did a reorg and appointed all white males to lead (8 men). Females are commonly paid less than their male counterparts. Management does not trust employees to work from home and they have recently taken away the option for hybrid. It is difficult to be a high performer because there is limited accountability for anyone. Most projects move at a snail’s pace and are often not completed. There is very limited vision for the future and long term projects. They mostly work in the now going from one fire to the next.
