Camden, NJ (US)

Former Employee – worked at Campbell Soup full-time for more than 3 years

ProsBenefits and balance, work hours

ConsConstant re-orgs, they don't give time for you to even see what transpired of the last one.
Constant politics, nepotism runs deep. Top management has no clue who actually does the work. They promote based on who they like not who does the hard work.

Advice to Senior ManagementBe transparent with the employees instead of trying to hide what is coming

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

Former Employee – worked at Campbell Soup

ProsGood pay and benefits. Iconic brands.

ConsExtremely political, very focused on who you know...no expertise required

Advice to Senior ManagementTry to be more inclusive of different ideas, styles. Attempt to elevate the talent by hiring people who actually know what they are doing. Don't make success a moving target...learn to set, communicate and maintain appropriate expectations. Seek to understand the cultural biases that inhibit the success of people who do not fit the Campbell mode and treat EVERYONE respectfully and fair.

Current Employee – been working at Campbell Soup full-time for more than 3 years

Pros+ Strong staffing with bright, generally motivated people
+ Strong brands, though dusty and aging in many cases

Cons+ Challenged on driving topline growth; and expecting unrealistic goals (especially give support levels) in that department
+ Often run like a collection of fiefdoms by folks with a particular love of the next "shiny" thing...whether that be a category, consumer group, strategy, etc. Not a lot of patience to see things through.

Advice to Senior ManagementWhile there is a benefit in aspiring to very lofty objectives, achieving them requires sustained focus investment and strategy. And current focus on very lofty objectives encourages people to inflate their forecasts to hit what is expected of them, regardless of the feasibility of actually meeting such numbers.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company
