They care about you as a person more than an employee, your opinion is valued and feedback is something they take seriously as they are an ever evolving company that relies on its most important resource, it’s people. They do a great job of training you to ensure that you have all you need to be successful. And the entire company feels like a team, “we’re all in this together” type of attitude. If you are able to land a job at The Hershey Company, do not take it lightly, it’s an incredible life changing experience.

Pros

Good people to work with

Pros

Flexible schedule and ability to work from home. Slightly above average pay. Company pays a good portion of your health insurance. Great reach inside North America and the brand is looked upon very positively by consumers. Being such a well known name looks good on the resume - the company has much more clout with other organizations than what revenues alone would demand. Depending on which team you're on, there are many learning opportunities with different technologies and methods to using those technologies.

Advice to Management

Management/leadership needs to not only say the right things, but follow through with statements - creating new CxO vision/mission statements but not having any details of the said plans does a disservice to everyone. I can't bring up specifics because that would be against the terms. Essentially, leadership seems to have locked down the "where to play", but typically falls flat on the "how to win" - this is in reference to internal IT direction - I don't have enough business acumen to form an opinion on the external business side of the company. If there is a real plan for these changes they need to be communicated and reinforced from time to time, not just put in a Powerpoint presentation displayed once in a meeting the left to never be spoken of again.

This is not to say that all is bad, there are a few changes happening and I hope that leadership will manage to turn things around internally for IT.

Assuming that IT gets turned around and people start working with each other again and not against each other, this would be a great place to work and get experience. The business is not going to go away any time soon, so as long as you have a drive to work and learn you will be rewarded.

Pros

Great people dependable job money

Pros

Great people to work with, fun work

Advice to Management

Make sure that there are an appropriate number of employees for the number of available shifts; people who were working there full time were not able to get enough hours
