Growth opportunities, strong values, exciting future

Human Resources Manager (Current Employee)
Battle Creek, MI

I have been working at Kellogg Company full-time for more than a year

ProsKellogg is a 100 year old company that requires entrepreneurs and innovators. The business is transitioning from a US-centric organization towards a global player. This means emerging markets, new categories, and probable acquisitions.

ConsProcesses are weak or non-existent in many areas. Building relationships is vital to overcome this. It is through relationships that you get the information and support needed because of the lack of process.

Advice to Senior ManagementContinue moving forward, don't lose momentum. The vision and attitude of transformation is exciting and will move us towards great things.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

ProsExcellent opportunity to advance if you work hard and very people oriented culture. Networking is key, and you are able to have input on high level projects even in individual contributor type roles.

ConsToo many people in the decision process at times can have a negative impact on ability to make change.

High Turnover, Toxic environment

Retail Sales Representative Warehouse (Former Employee)
Houston, TX

I worked at Kellogg Company full-time for more than 7 years

ProsWhen I started with the company in 2009 it was a great place to work. They took care of their employees and had a great work life balance. Good pay and bonus structure.

ConsJob security was always at risk, until they eventually laid off all their Retail Sales Representatives this year. There is not a lot of opportunity for advancement compared to other companies. They have another sales position that is still active in DSD. You work around 12 hours a day and have no work life balance. High stress!

Advice to Senior ManagementNew VP every couple years, high turnover rate, they don't know what direction they want to go in. They aren't taking their employees into consideration, just looking at bottom line. This company has went downhill the past few years. Hopefully they will turn it back around.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

ProsBusy, always working. There is definatley the hours here.

Advice to Senior ManagementWe are people too, change is a must in this decade to stay above water, thats understood, but to bring on financial hardship with a plan that was necessary by the company to save our employment then to leave us without is just wrong
