“Bi-Polar Management Team” /Reviews/Employee-Review-Kraft-Foods-RVW2014630.htm
Former Sales Service Representative in Orlando, FL
Pros – Great benefits (company paid car, trips, etc.), quick promotions, job requirements are clearly defined.
Cons – Have to stock shelves (I went to college for this?), a lot of travel, politics are crazy, and the management teams are bi-polar in that you may have 3 levels of management telling you different things.
Advice to Senior Management – Value the employees you have more and take the time to properly develop and train your newly hired employees.

“The Split” /Reviews/Employee-Review-Kraft-Foods-RVW1991826.htm
Current General Laborer in Madison, WI
Pros – The company is very well recognized by many as a leader in quality foods. The supervisors work very well with others to ensure their safety and that the best product is sold.
Cons – There are times when employee hours are very scarce. The expectation of employees is that they will have 40 hours as full-time workers. However, the company frequently changes the employee schedule without sufficient notice
Advice to Senior Management – Production assembly is not an easy task. Although it doesn't take a high IQ, it would be wonderful if management remembered that we are valued members who have vested interest in the success of this company.

“Great company to work for” /Reviews/Employee-Review-Kraft-Foods-RVW1955188.htm
Current Finance Manager in Northfield, IL
Pros – Work life balance is great. Switch to PTO a couple years ago means a lot of vacation time, even for new employees.
Cons – Focus on developing finance careers has taken a backseat to cutting overheads/jobs and focus on a successful split into two companies.
Not as many great leaders as there could be for a great company like this.

“My review” /Reviews/Employee-Review-Kraft-Foods-RVW1937270.htm
Current IT Manager in Northfield, IL
Pros – Good benefits and telecommuting opportunities. On site health club and company store. Plenty of opportunities for project managers.
Cons – Work/life balance can often be an issue. Sometimes management says one thing but their actions do another. They publicly support work/life balance while continuing to take on heavy workloads that will ensure their staff may not be able to take PTO time or experience a work/life balance that is adequate.
Advice to Senior Management – Don't allow "stretch goals" to over stress employees by overloading them with too much work that prevents them from spending time with their families.

Current Employee in Philadelphia, PA
Pros – job stability and good salary
Cons – there is not enough help or manpower in the M&R department
Advice to Senior Management – consider hiring more employees to help reduce worker comp claims from injuries caused by lack of help and employees trying to complete work to get production back
