Titles are inflated versus expectations
24 May 2023 - Finance Manager in Plymouth, WIRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Great family culture. Leadership is open to and understanding of requirements outside of work (ie childcare). Most of the work can be completed dying normal hours so you won't need to login after hours.
Cons
Base pay is lower than other local businesses but they call it fair for how the roles are scoped. The corollary is that the roles limit your ability to innovate and improve your own workflow. Standardization across you peers works for production but stifles knowledge workers. Also, record earnings did not equate to record bonuses.

Pros
They care about you as a person and want you to succeed. Never feel like I can't put my family first.
Cons
Sometimes Sargento is too nice so, instead of addressing issues they can last longer than they should. More direct feedback sometimes is needed.

Once a great company, mid level management driving it into the ground.
30 Aug 2021 - Maintenance TechnicianRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Good pay, decent 401k, Bonuses, clean environment for food industry work. Good pay and lots of hours available if thats what you are looking for. Top level leadership are genuinely good people with honestly good intentions.
Cons
Large disconnect between levels of leadership. Low and mid level management wants to be noticed when things are going well but are quick to take down anyone that will make them look bad, lots of issues are swept under the rug. Skills and abilities where once considered a virtue, but college degrees carry more weight even with zero functional knowledge or experience. Lower management and leadership positions are encouraged to distance themselves from production level employees by mid Management, managers do not stand by or support their subordinates. Production employees don't feel they have a voice. Supervisory staff tend to block communication with higher levels, good or bad. Large inconsistencies between facilities in both policy and quality control. Retirement and health options are geared towards the older generation, not many good options for the younger class. Out of date practices and technology and not receptive to suggestions or improvements.
