Hear from the people who know Ken’s best
Here’s what our team members have to say about their experiences working with us:
-
What made me choose Ken’s Foods was the personality of the place. When I walked in the door, people were happy to be there. Years later, I’m still loving the job—that’s just the kind of place it is. My military skills were directly applicable to my job here; the mechanisms that make an engine run are the same that allow you to fill a bottle. But the primary skill we focus on is leadership. We’re looking to develop and raise leaders.

Ken's culture is diverse, family-oriented, inclusive, and unique in its own way. The best part of my job is my coworkers—their professionalism, motivation, energy, and great personalities keep me going. Working here has transformed my relationships from coworkers into family and friends. These bonds help us collaborate and push through challenges together. Management fosters exceptional skills in leadership, safety, motivation, planning, staffing, and team organization.

During my first year at Ken's, I worked in Production as a Labeler. Now, I've joined the kitchen as a Mixer. I can attest that Ken's is a company that hires great people and focuses on quality work. Coworkers and managers are awesome—friendly, supportive, and helpful. On the first shift food service kitchen team, we're not just employees, we're family. We respect one another and work really well as a team, often with little to no supervision needed. We celebrate and cheer each other on when we hit our daily goals.

The culture at Ken’s Foods can be summed up in one word: “unique.” I’ve never seen a company that cares for, welcomes, and invests in its employees the way Ken’s does. Everyone I’ve met on the leadership team genuinely cares about employee success. I can go to anyone on the team and they’re always ready to help. The company has supported my growth by offering courses and training—even for employees who may not initially see themselves in leadership roles but demonstrate strong work ethic and potential. It builds confidence!
Gabriela Ruiz, Processing Team Leader

The culture here is great—everyone has a positive attitude and is always willing to help. From the front offices to the warehouse, there's a strong sense of teamwork that makes the job less stressful. People are understanding, approachable, and supportive. Ken’s Foods has helped me gain the confidence to achieve more than I ever expected. I started as a temp five years ago. I worked as a Forklift Operator, got promoted to Warehouse Lead, and now I’ve moved into Maintenance. I’ve been successful because Ken’s invests in its people. When I give 100%, the company recognizes it and gives me opportunities to grow. They don’t hold anyone back—we’re all pushing to be our best, knowing the opportunities are there for everyone.
