Pros

Many people work from home which is excellent if you have a family. Friendly people who will generally help each other.

Cons

Insurance premiums and insurance itself is rather mediocre. Not much in the way of benefits above what any other company of the same size would provide. Sub par 401k matching .50cents/$1 for upto 5% of salary or so.

Pros

Other hourly employees are great to work with. Pay is ok but only because of overtime. Very little weekend work.

Cons

Supervisors need to be "leaders" instead of "bosses", spend less time on petty write ups and more time being part of a team. Techs expected to take after hours calls to troubleshoot faults over the phone (without pay) but will be disciplined and docked pay for being thirty seconds late in the morning. Techs are expected to be "experts" in multiple crafts but pay level doesn't reflect this. Company claims to be "family friendly" but expects overtime with little or no notice. Time off for medical reasons or family emergencies is frowned upon.

Sonoco Display & Packaging in shambles

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

Stable company over all, Time-off, Good coworkers

Cons

Leadership in Sonoco Display & Packaging is myopic. Cutting pay for dedicated salespeople who toil to get and maintain accounts. Freezing designer pay and outsourcing IT lowering morale and inhibiting effectiveness of staff. 100% turnover in sales leadership and 80% churn in over all sales due to cuts in pay and politics.
