The Hershey Company Employer Reviews

Not a family friendly place to work if you have a mere 15 years of service.

Work was amazing each day when it had its busy hours. Especially I that love to work in a fast paste environment. The job had me going daily. Most of the time I like to work by my self but definitely had learned here at Hershey's Company that working in teams it's more helpful such as combining different skills and talent to others. The job was done – more... faster and with better quality. – less

If your in need of money, then this is the place for you. If you want to see your family, or have any life outside of the job, then you had better not even think of applying here. They will lie to you about how much weekend and Holiday work there is. You will be lucky to have off 2 weekends a month, count on 1 weekend off per month, as long as no one – more... goes on vacation. If you want a Holiday off, you better schedule a vacation day. The people you will be working with are a great group of guys, and will soon become your family! – less

A typical day at Hershey is fast pace non-stop.It is a unfriendly environment and very stressful. The majority of the co-workers are old and about to retire. There is a lot of fighting and bickering all of the time with co-workers. The management is no better. There is a lot of favoritism ,and crooked things that go on with management. I would not recommend – more... that anybody work there. The best part about the job is staying focused on your task and overcoming all the mess that goes on around you. The hardest part of the job is dealing with the mess around you. – less

Call on stores within territory daily. Execute key programs sent into stores. Perform distribution checks and rotate product. Order out of stock items. Punch in additional product to maintain displays. Job is done alone daily. Time management and customer management is very important. Job has flexibility day to day which is nice.

Retired / Severence
Maintained equipment in Chocolate Processing departments.
Learned everything about the chocolate process.
Management is now poor due to their inability to know the process of chocolate making. Treatment of employees was wonderful at one time, sadly not anymore.
Co-workers are almost all like family.
Hardest part of the job was hot – more... and heavy work.
I enjoyed fixing things and understanding chocolate processing. – less

I highly recommend working for The Hershey Company. Probably some of the nicest people I've worked with/for. My only complaint is that there is no path to full time if you start out part time. Other than that the pay is food, the benefits are great and the people are supportive.

I enjoyed working the Hershey Company,it was a great company to work for.My team all were great people to work with as well as my DM.To me there was no hard part of the job,I have been doing chain retail sales representative for 25 plus years, and I enjoy meeting new people and helping them grow there business as well the company.I learned alot from – more... others and always keeped an open mind to my co-workers as well as the management team.You can never stop learning something new or show others as well. – less

My experience was very positive. I had the chance to build a sales career and then transition into an HR career. Advancement and mobility are important to The Hershey Company.

I was a contractor for a few months in HR. I was praised on a phone in meetup call with 30 people on Tues and told not to return on Thurs. I was let go without much of a reason and certainly never had any discussion about things to work on, but I was told from the agency by them I seemed "frustrated" wow. Part of my job was selling Hershey to candidates, – more... ironic isn't it? 90% of the time was never spoken to by my on site manager, Only saw the one who approved my timesheet 5 times ever. Finished my work then at the end of the day was given the work of the others who were perm that they sat on all day. nice! good luck if you choose to work here. – less

The Hershey Company has the kindest co-workers. Every day when I arrived at work I received good mornings and there was always fresh coffee and chocolate baskets everywhere.
I was an Intern for the summer so I did alot of office work like filing, copying, data entry, and answering phone calls. However, I also got to help plan Relay for Life and that – more... was an amazing experience.
The hardest part was organizing their entire filing system. And the most enjoyable part was working with a great boss and amazing co-workers. – less

maintain production line to attain the production goals for the day

Great company to work for. Good pay and benefits. Work life balance is also great. Only negative would be difficulty in advancement from entry level sales.

A great place to work. Great customers and product I believe in.

A typical day (for now) revolves around graduation. One full class and 3 weeks remain until graduation. All preperations are being made for a successful transition back to working.

I have been spending time interviewing and volunteering in several aspects of the criminal justice field.

I am excited to learn the various responsibilities available and – more... meet new people.

My communication skills have developed greatly (verbal and written).

I enjoy being in the community and helping others.

Learning valuable important characteristics of the many personalities I meet throughout my day is the most fascinating part of my job. I take notes and reflect back.

The hardest part of the day is knowing how to end. My desire for success is a stronghold. Personally, I believe that drives me to greater goals. Although, I recognize it can exhaust me without knowledge. – less

It is Good and Best company to work, it is good environment.
Co - workers are nice, management is very good.
i learnt so much.

The team I worked with was the best. There is a lot of flexibility and great benefits for a part time position.

The Hershey Company as a whole is a great company and the people that work there are as well, yet some management has the mindset, that we don't have to follow the values, but want those who they lead to do so. In order to management, you have to lead by example. They have excellent benefits and salaries as well as perks.

A typical day is 7-4 in the field making sales calls and gaining new business. Then the day ends in my home office preparing for the next day, answering emails, printing, and reviewing analytics.

I have learned how to manage my time effectively and have a good idea what it is like to run a small business. I have incredible well educated co-workers – more... and the company promotes a great work life balance.

The hardest part of the job is hearing "NO", especially when you are selling responsibly and are trying to help a clients business. The most enjoyable part of the job is having a breakthrough with a client or account. It could be a new relationship, a big sale, or a new understanding of their business. – less

Plan on living there. Work week consists of 7 days a week and 16 hour days. Good pay, no life. Health benefits suck! My job was cut due to corporate greed! Good luck!
