Pros

The pay is good with good benefits and work life balance

Cons

The company is lost and in a fog. They have no direction of where they are going. Most of the top leadership have left or been fired in droves. There is a new organizational structure every 2 weeks. There is no advancement, career development or succession planning. The company is is cost cutting mode at all costs. Not a good place to work and will not be for the next 5 years at least.

Pros

Tries to be competitive in the benefits arena but is reviewing cuts all the time.

Cons

Poor direction from all levels; complete turnover of senior management; multiple changes in direction and demands of production facilities; focus on potatoes and no investment in other aspects of the business; employees with longevity and loyalty leaving in droves; no trust in senior management - based on what they say and what they do.

Pros

The company provides industry standard compensation.

Cons

The legacy of Harrison and Wallace is gone. They would be devastated in the way the company has evolved, and the current operation of the company. There have been several major directional changes by CEO's in the last few years, Each bring in their own employees into key roles, who bring in their employees, all at the expense of promoting from within., That is understandable to a point but a virtual blacklisting of long term employees is not right. Turfing them to make room is worse. A major purge is underway in this last round. You can earn loyalty, but you cannot buy it off of the street.
