Tyson Foods Reviews

Pros

Learned a lot in my skillset here. I made lifelong friends here too,

Cons

Stock price is going down. Company overall underperforming. But changes have been made in leadership for speedy recovery.

Pros

Pay, bonus, miles, although inconsistent at times,

Cons

Too much sitting waiting on loads to get ready, to unload, & to load. Night/weekend staff useless. Pay tops out at .61. After that it's up to mgmt for annual cost if living raises

Pros

Tyson is committed to making sure that you get the pay that you deserve and do not stand for any harassment of any kind. They have some supervisors that work with you to support you the best way they can.

Cons

Tysons does not care if you or your family is sick. They give false information at orientation that if you bring in a doctors note or have a family emergency that you will not be pointed. The point system however does not in fact take into consideration your health or that of family emergency health issues. My kids and myself all got sick with some unknown bacterial virus that caused me to have to take my children and myself to the er a few times and when I would bring in a note from the er doctor stating I was unable to work that day or the next, I still got pointed and got fired because I had to be out or leave early too many days because of my own health or that of my children. These should have been excused as told in orientation however they were not and I lost my health insurance for me and my children having to pay 800 dollars in medical bills because we had emergency issues that was effecting our bodies. Mine was making it hard to breathe in an extreme amount of pain, my son had issues with his private, and my daughter was losing wight unable to keep down any foods.

Pros

You work a lot which means a decent income to provide. They offer a tuition program for maintenance or just to go back and get a degree. Overtime is usually all the time. The environment is very diverse.

Cons

Only get one day off. The hourly workers make more than the supervisors when the supervisors have to deal with countless issues. Overtime is snatched at their convenience but they still make you work 6 days a week.

Pros

Pay Hours Holiday pay Growers

Cons

Management Hard work Very dirty

Pros

Great supervisors and GPM Outstanding benefits package

Cons

Don't get sick. You will be pointed even with ER paperwork and a hospital bracelet for possible emergency surgery. The point system here is the worst I've ever seen. I work the same hours as almost every business and sometimes I have to miss time because I have business that has to be taken care of. After 18 months I have 10 points so therefore I am being overlooked for a lead position that I am more than qualified for. But a new hire, (90 days), with 5 points got an interview. Ridiculous. Saturdays are always mandatory and sometimes even Sunday. This 4 star ranking is due primarily because I have awesome management here in the fully cooked end of the plant.

Pros

Paid decent, lots of overtime.

Cons

Doesn't listen to employees, lack of involvement from upper management, favoritism, and inability to follow their own rulesets.

Pros

Corporate culture used to be great--not especially hierarchicaL most people prepared to consider what's best for the company, nit just their narrow interests (there were notable exceptions). Good compensation and good job security.

Cons

ZERO job security, no value on the length of service, diminishing compensation, terrible senior leadership. Just look at recent verifiable news. Closed two corporate offices, closed two plants, laid off 10% of corporate office staff and 15% of senior managers, CFO arrested. All of that is undeniable fact. If you look at the reviews on here, the highest reviews are from people with less than one year. I worked there happily for decades, but I don't recognize the place anymore.

Pros

Great pay good benefits your birthday is a holiday to tyson

Cons

They work you hard , they treat you unfairly

Pros

Professional supervisors, Off work by 2 pm most days, Awesome benefits, Family-centered co-workers, lack of sexual harassment (I experienced this thru my employment at Pilgrims Pride in Dequeen, Arkansas). At Tyson, I did not experience sexual harassment; my supervisors, Human resource employees, and our plant supervisor are all very professional and happy to help with all the curve balls life throws. I loved my job and my co-workers. I still miss them very much. One of the best jobs in this rural area

Cons

Hand and back pain; this will subside once your body adjust to the motions you will perform everyday and will take about 2 weeks. placed on leave for medical reasons behind the covid 19 vaccine- medically released by doctor to NOT get the vaccine due to possible negative side effects
