Pros

World leader in the industry - great people to work with (management excepted). Very exciting and dynamic environment.

Cons

Very little communication from top down. Non-traditional working environment. Long hard hours, and pay is minimal. If you are not in the "inner-circle" you are just an employee. There is a sense of teamwork among those you work with, however, you could lose your job at any time. there is no job security with this company. If an acquisition occurs your position may be eliminated. All decisions are about the bottom-line and little information is provided about the overall goals and strategy of the company.

A company dealing with foreign ownership, a declining demand, and closed borders.

Business Outlook

Pros

Great location, wonderful facilities. Industry & market share leader. Historically significant. When times are good this is a great company to be part of, however, with the current state of the industry (closed borders, food safety concerns, declining consumer purchase of high-quality cuts) times and the company have become extremely lean. Pork opps have been historically healthy and profitable. I was at Swift & Company prior the JBS acquisition.

Cons

Industry in decline and Swift's plants need an infusion of funds. Foreign ownership has turned a once strong branded marketer into an operational-driven plow horse. New senior management is adapting to American consumer and has had spotty success.
