RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at Johnsonville full-time (More than 10 years)
Pros
Johnsonville is family-owned company that makes awesome tasting sausage products. We have a beautiful corporate headquarters, located next to a few of our manufacturing plants, and a work culture that is sought after by CEO's and BOD's around the world. We use the business to build the people, not using people to build the business. I have stretched and grown beyond what I ever could have imagined...and I love it here!
Cons
Some would say that our rural setting is not for them, but that's because they haven't experienced it yet. We're a short commute from the Milwaukee suburbs, so that shouldn't be a factor. This is a great place to work and raise a family.
Advice to Management
Stay privately held and family owned.
