      "Sonoco is doing a great job recruiting women to their entry level positions, so you will be in good company in the beginning. The number of women in leadership roles is small (but growing), so it can feel a little lonely once you have moved out of an entry-level position. "

      "Sonoco has an unbelievable foundation of core values. Our executive leaders firmly believe in doing the right thing. There is a very intentional focus on doing more for women and minorities in our locations. They afford a tremendous amount of career growth opportunities and have been making an incredible amount of investments in things like our healthcare plans (just added infertility benefits for 2021), more corporate resources (Simon) and a strengthened focus on learning and development with Sonoco University. It's a great time to be here."

      "overall, I believe the pay is fairly equitable between men and women which is very nice to see nowadays. Benefits are so so. Nothing really outstanding. Employee development across all levels and genders is a little lacking for a fortune 500 company. There is succession plans, but unless you have been identified as one of the selected, you really won't know anything about them and probably won't know how to be considered or what to work on to be considered. Merit raises are pretty much straight across the board with a few departments actually tying it to your review. "
