Pros
Lot's of over time. Good benefits. Employees can buy the product when extra is available. Tyson does believe in giving people second and sometimes third chances. Tyson does not discriminate against people with nonviolent Felonies.The company is known for it's liberal attitude about believing people do make mistakes in life and they will work with you. I can also say even with a felony record you can move up to several lower management positions. Tyson is a Faith Friendly Company. Your first year with Tyson you get 1 week of paid vacation then on your 5th year you get another week of paid vacation. Once you have been with the company for 10 years you get 3 weeks of paid vacation.
Cons
There is very little time for family or a personal life as a team member at Tyson. We work 6 days a week with occasional 7 day work weeks. If you have a family plan on not seeing them. Tyson will consume your life with work. We have a 13 point attendance system, every time you don't show up for work you get a point. Once you reach 13 points you're fired. There are exceptions to the rule but very few.
