| Division Sales and Marketing Directorr |
Sonoco is a company that is managed well financially. However, it is
struggling with growth, and is not truly committed to make it happen.
There is not time, effort and vision from the very top on this.
It is also truly a good ol' boys club. It is important to be able to
golf and to be male, preferably white. One thing to look for, if a
woman in the company, is the number of women in the executive ranks, and
the number of women that actually rose through the company to the
executive ranks. There is a strong view in the company and in the
community that men should not report to women. I have been surprised by
the culture in the south. It is important to emphasize any connection
you have to the south.
When at Sonoco, it is extremely important to gain sponsorship from a top
executive in the company. This will protect you through the lay-offs.
