Pros
Really good place to work and make money , there is always overtime all the time . If you want promotion you must not miss any day at work and have seniority , at least 5 months. You must be friendly to supervisors even if they are annoying as f , don’t get on their bad side or they’ll talk sheet about you .
Cons
Cold place to work in , smoking area needs to be gone , too many smokers contaminating the lunch areas while everyone eats .

Pros
Benefits and vacation hours if you have seniority.
Cons
Management is not qualified, and have none experience on how to handle employee issues. Poor training. No inner promotions. Some managers don't care or don't want to be bother to find solutions. No support from your own managers to improve as a professional (some of them only have High School Diploma) .

Pros
Great benefits, care(d) about employees more than many production companies
Cons
Long hours, busy management, with purchase from Smithfield seems like the company is more into finances than the concerns of their employees. I heard a lot of supervisors and employees have been fired or quit since I left.
