Does Sonoco Products offer family leave?
Pros
The benefits and leave policy are great! A very good place to work if you are a Veteran!
Cons
This statement may have been true years ago, "Our core beliefs and values at Sonoco revolve around integrity & respect. " But that is no longer a true statement. The word diversity is just lip service. The global company still has small-town views about diversity. It's all just for show! HR is there to protect the company and not employees.
Advice to Management
STOP showing favoritism and have respect for people under you. Stop keeping the bad apples and letting the good ones go.
The benefits and leave policy are great!
