Kerry Foods Charleville

messyessy

I've been offered a postiton with Kerry Foods in Charleville in their accounts dept.

Has anybody worked there in accounts or do you know of anyone who works there.

Natually, Kerry will say that it's a great place to work - but I want to know from an actual worker.

Thanks

Never worked for them directly but I believe its a grand spot to work in.

Most large companies like them are good to work for and if you have the energy and work hard its not to hard to work your way up the pole.

Isn't that their shared services department? Personally, I wouldn't be rushing back to work for Kerry, never mind their Shared Services. However, how you get on with them will depend a lot more on your personality rather than your ability.

I have worked in Shared Services elsewhere, and hated it too.

I have a friend who works there. There is a very high turnover of staff in the main office block in Charleville. I also have a another friend whos' sister, a college grad. in business studies, applied for a specific job there but was put answering complaints calls. When she queried her boss, he told her she'd have to stick it out for 6 months and he would review the situation. She left a week later. However, a job is a job. You could always take it and see how things go. Best of luck with your decision.

Anyone I ever talked to about Kerry Group in Kerry said they were very hard to work for (I'm being polite). I think Charlevile might be better though.

But, as has been said, you can always chuck it. If you don't take it you'll never know. Oddly I think my ex girlfriend works there, although I've not met her in years. At least she's nice!

Kerry group are a formidable company. However this is so due to their huge work ethic. Top executives work huge hours and down through the line aspiring employees do the same. In kerry you are expected to do this.

However they reward good people with generous salaries. Good employees rarely leave the company as their salaries aren't matched by many other companies.

yeah i guess thats it.

You could look at it this way..... If you want to be successful anywhere you are expected to have a bit of that attitude. So at least they don't bull**** you!

They have a very hands-on work ethic - a legacy from their agricultural background.
