Campbell Soup Company Reviews

Cons

Many positive highlights, but like any organization, Campbell’s needs to work on their politics.

Cons

Too much reliance on power tools/apps to get points across. Face to face works much better. Power point love is too high

Cons

bad communication between departments.

Cons

There is a lack of decision making

Cons

moving to the florida area do not know how to go about transferring being that I work under a temp agency

Cons

eventually promomiting millenials over people with actual work experience will blow up in their face

Cons

Working at the headquarters of a large food manufacturing company was difficult. I was at a lower level and always felt my job was in jeopardy. There was a lot of "corporate speak" that was almost political and I found it hard to decipher. If you want to move up in this company someone higher up has to vouch for you. If you have no friends in high places you will be stuck or dismissed. I have 12 years experience in the food industry and every job I applied for was blocked for me. I found it extremely frustrating. I was relieved when I was laid off in the midst of a company re-organization.

Cons

Behind the times and not transparent with communication, promotions, etc.

Cons

Where do I begin? Managers promoted to incompetence. Very High Turnover especially for women. (HR needs to look at that.) Anyone over 50 should start looking because Campbell likes to fire and hire two Millenials. Then the Millennials quit. Nice strategy. Before I left I heard from others that had left that Campbells was the worst company they ever worked for. Unfortunately things did not get better and with a re-org every year and no brand growth it was time to go.

Cons

I grew disillusioned this week by our company's response to customers expressing concern about the CEO's participation on the US President's Manufacturing Council. Customers began calling us #SoupNazis on-line; I hear the customer support lines had unusually long wait times during all this.

When given an opportunity commit to our values the company's response seemed to be one of turning the other way. If we ignore it, surely, it might go away? Our stated values have turned into a thin veneer that glosses over a core of old-school corporatism. Our brand "real food" seems more fake then ever. This is not a place for serious brand professionals, nor, seemingly, those will any moral fiber.

 In short:

- Poor environment for serious brand managers who want to espouse real values.
- Lack of credible leadership and commitment to local community
- Narrow focus on our shareholders only; actions speak louder than words!
