ABOUT THIS COMPANY:

How sweet it is!


The Hershey Company, among North America's largest confectioners, boasts a name that's become practically synonymous with chocolate—and for good reason.  The enterprise provides cacao-derived goodness under approximately 80 brand names in several countries worldwide, including United States, Canada, Mexico and Brazil, in forms ranging from bars and Kisses to Kit Kats, York Peppermint Patties and Reese's Peanut Butter Cups.  Also on offer are fine confections from acquisitions Scharffen Berger, Dagoba and Joseph Schmidt, fit to quell even the most refined chocolate craving.  But the company's no sweets snob.  It also churns out treats such as Twizzlers and Jolly Ranchers, chocolate for dessert and baking, and Bubble Yum gum and Ice Breakers breath-freshening gum and mints.

SURVEY SAYS


Sweet surrender


Hershey's employees really do get free chocolate!  But the company also offers more standard benefits like health insurance, business casual dress and company stock.  Luckily, Hershey also provides dental coverage to its associates who say that they are treated as "sweetly as the chocolate."  Some insiders praise the "generous" benefit and retirement packages as well as the "social and high-spirited" atmosphere.  It's good that they get along particularly at the corporate office because "Hershey [Pa.] is a very small town and there is not much to do."
