Smithfield Foods
Great pay poor management
Great pay and benifits. A lot of employee and process opportunities for improvement.
Management team in my opinion need peaople skill. Not more but actually engage employees and process to address concerns not in an office or conference room behind a desk. Obtain input from experts doing the job for improvements. Management needs to stop assuming they know it all because they hold the title. In addition dont blame employees of process for failures, own it you set the tone! - less

Work very long hours/no work/life balance
As an assistant manager, I worked long days. Very little mentor or training. Expected to know job by osmosis. Never told how to do things correctly by manager, only told what I did wrong.
Prosgood pay and benefits
Conslong hours, no management support or expectations
