Pros of working at Tyson Foods

The company is reputable and committed to community service. The job is challenging but fulfilling. It is family-owned and, for the most part, operated. I will also state that it isn't owned or controlled by China, as some oddball mentioned in their comments.

Cons of working at Tyson Foods

There are too many executives at every level, which is causing confusion and mismanagement. No one seems to have a clearly defined role, resulting in multiple people working on the same tasks. Additionally, there is a lack of consistency across all plants due to their autonomy, and corporations need to establish and enforce standards to ensure consistency.

Tyson Foods benefits

- Bonus - Generous 401k and stock purchase matches. - Free College - Good amount of time off
