Hillshire Brands Employer Reviews

long days, few off days, horrible pay, I learned how to drive while tired

It is a very good company to work for with very good management. The provides opportunities to learn and advance.

The pay was good as well as the benefits. Transportation issues are what caused me to no longer be working there.

I really enjoyed working for this company it was hard work, but you got good hours and everyone was very friendly to work with. The only bad part is that they closed the doors on such a good place.

The St.Joseph Missouri plant the management is horrible.My idea would be fire everyone.The training for new employees is very poor.I would not recommend this job to my worst enemy.

Great to work for this Co. because job security and good management environment

Morale is at an unbelievable all time low. Avoid this joke of a new culture company if you are looking for employment. An HR manager position has been open for several months; does that tell you something? Management is so disconnected from the ranks, and even at HQ. No one gives a you know what unless it affects them personally. So as long as the CEO's – more... ego is fed by his goofy plans and all the SLT and VP's are doing well with big homes, summer homes, private schools, plush vacations, and keep their spouses in jewelry and furs life is good ( for them!). – less

I have learned to be more patient with my team members.
The most enjoyable part of the job for me is when we can be very efficient and no one is working harder than the other.

Job not hard, Management is not that good at hiring supervisors because they are not shown how to run machines and some are not trained be a leader, there is a lack of communication within this facility.

Work there for a month and never got my checks. Went to HR and they refused to help me. These people are bad people to work for

I have been working for this company for two years. I am very happy with some of the things I have experienced and also at the same time unhappy. Management, for the most part, is extremely helpful when you need the assistance with certain things. At the same time however, they can just not care about what you have going on. I have learned many things – more... while working here, and I am extremely grateful for that. The most enjoyable part of my job is the people I work with. They feel almost like an extended family to me. – less

Easy fast pace loving day, learning more and more in that type of business every day , every hour.The hardest part of the job is loading and unloading your work truck.The most enjoyable part of the day is when you know your at your last store and you know your just about done ,but usually that last store takes for ever.

Typical day consisted of stocking shelves, filling product shortfalls in the market, and answering costumer questions. I had a lot of independence and was afforded the opportunity to analyze my tasks and optimize my efficiency. I had great management while I was there. It was interesting working in a union shop and it taught me the value of doing a – more... favor for a coworker. – less

Hillshire Brands is a decent place to work. They have flexible hours, good benefits, and the workload is manageable. I have enjoyed the time that I have spent with the company and the people.

Various job sites, managers and co-workers. changed so often, there is no real way to judge

Good Place to work but only if you can change the management..

Long nights so 12 hour shifts from 5pm-5am, very hot. I learned how to work with other while training new employees. No management. Co-workers were great, we all worked together to get the job done in a timely manner while following rules. The hardest part was staying awake after being at school most of the day, then going back to work. The best part – more... of the job was the pay and benefits that were available. – less
