Former Employee – worked at Campbell Soup

Pros – good wages compared to other fatory jobs
fellow employees were great to work with
Benefits are very good for health and dental
room for movement in the company because of internal hiring

Cons – worked 2 years as a temp before getting hired
Lousy communication between management and employees
Saftey standards are horrible, I was injured on some improperly enginerred equipment, put on disbility, and was brushed away when trying to come back to work. Felt severely betrayed, to give years of my life working there, only to be treated like garbage after injury. They treat you like another number, not like a valued employee. Dont be fooled, bad company to work for.

Advice to Senior Management – The leadership at campells although may be sound at the top, I found it got worse as you trickle down to lower levels of management. I believe their business strategies were good, but if you treat you employess, the blood of your company, this will come back to haunt you. I honetly felt at times like i was working in a 3rd world country, not the free nation i live in.

Former Employee – worked at Campbell Soup

Pros – Good pay and benefits. Iconic brands.

Cons – Extremely political, very focused on who you know...no expertise required

Advice to Senior Management – Try 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.

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

Pros – Benefits and balance, work hours

Cons – Constant 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 Management – Be 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

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 Management – While 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.
