      Pros

      Flexible work schedules, summer Fridays, daycare and gym on-site, great brands to support, down to earth coworkers who are also friends

      Cons

      Incredible uncertainty with leadership and the future of the organization. CEO left in May and while CLT has expressed that there is a unified strategy the company is working against, as a mid manager employee I do not feel that everyone is on the same page. Also, no focus on talent management. High performing employees get rewarded with more work while employees who put in the bare minimum are not held accountable. Morale has become extremely low and the work environment is toxic given the uncertainty of what will happen here in the next 6-12 months.

      Advice to Management

      Hold leadership accountable for delivering results. Focus on retaining great employees rather than sitting idle while good talent leaves the organization.

      I have been working at Campbell Soup Company full-time (More than 10 years)

      Pros

      I have been working at Campbell Soup for over 10 years in retail sales. I love this company. It is good to its employees over the years. Colleagues are helpful and professional. I appreciate the company for it has provided well for me and my family. It is such an iconic brand for American consumers.

      Cons

      It is just a shame that with the recent acquisition of Snyder's that pushed the company over the edge. It is even worse that the Board decided to move Keith McLoughlin into Interim CEO role. I checked with people in retail appliances and they have horrible things to say about McLoughlin. He destroyed the value of Electrolux ever since he moved to Electrolux. He shut down 4 US factories and moved them to Mexico. This had caused significant market share loss for Electrolux. Laundry products decreased from 16% market share to less than 4% in just 6 years. They could not make these products in the new Mexican factories. Also the Mexican plants could not make refrigerators at the same quality and the poor quality had never recovered. He decided to launch the premium Electrolux brand products in 2008 when the market tanked. This costed Electrolux over 1 B$ of profit loss during the past 8 years. Recently, he initiated and botched the GE Appliances acquisition which cost the company over 175 M$ in break up fees and employees there lost over a year of distraction.

      Advice to Management

      To our Board, please do thorough background check on Keith McLoughlin and stop using him as Interim CEO. Campbell Soup needs a CEO with a good track record of growing businesses, NOT destroying businesses. Campbell Soup employees deserve much better leadership. We want our beloved company to prosper at least through the next decade.
