Nestlé Purina

We Stand Taller because we dare to make every day better. To give it our all. To put our name on the work we do. Doing the right things right. Making our work matter. Why? Because we care. We're inspired by the words of our founder, William H. Danforth, who believed that integrity, passion, expertise and performance are the keys to Standing Taller and making good lives better. Today, we carry on the legacy, passionately enriching the lives of pets and the people who love them. #WeStandTaller, do you?

What does "diversity" and "inclusion" mean to you? If we asked this question to several people at Purina, we'd get a different answer from each person. We choose to celebrate that.

Our core focus as an organization is how we can translate the "24 dimensions of diversity" into significant impact we have on our workforce, culture, community and marketplace. By sharing the celebration of our differences, we make a bigger difference in this world. Working together, #WeStandTaller.

Paid Time Off

-We all need some quality "me" time. And occasionally we (or our family members) get sick. You'll accrue earned paid time off each month to take the necessary time you need. Additionally, you'll enjoy several paid holidays and two "floating" days of your choice throughout the year.

"Think Bigger. Act Bigger. Be Bigger"— words of our founder we hold close to our hearts. We have an opportunity to make extraordinary change in this world, beyond revolutionizing the pet care industry. This includes undertaking the battle of global employment concerns, specifically the need to bridge critical skills gaps.

Led by broader Nestlé as a global effort, Project Opportunity is best known as our career acceleration initiative to help people gain work experience and strengthen their development skills. It's an unconditional commitment to training highly-skilled workers through unique apprenticeship, mentorship, internship, and development opportunities. It’s a promise to enhance coaching and mentoring opportunities for students and community members through digital and live events. It’s the "Dare" we accepted from our founder from the very beginning—the Dare to Stand Taller.

Regardless of your age, career level or background, you should continue learning new things – every day. One of your first opportunities with the company upon hiring will be a unique three-day experience we call NAO – New Associate Orientation.

After that, the rest is up to you. We offer thousands of ways for you to stay engaged and continue learning – online courses, in-class courses, book clubs, coffee talk sessions, webinars, seminars, and conferences. Stand Taller. Own your career.

What it Means to be a Leader

Leadership is about emotion. Even Forbes says so. We admire the people we admire because, in some underlying way, they have the ability to inspire us – to create a spark. Most of us, by sheer misfortune, aren't natural-born leaders. But many of us innately have the traits and transferable skills that can make us worthwhile leaders someday.

We Believe in Cross-Training to Build Better Leaders

Oftentimes, the key to a company's stellar performance can be hidden within the organization's current talent pool. By investing in the resources to cross-train your current workforce, you're immersing your employees in opportunities that will offer them diverse experiences for learning and growth. And in turn, your business will flourish.

We're truly proud to be able to donate money, time and resources to so many people and pets around the world. It will forever be part of our DNA to continue giving to those we know need it most.

You may be leaving our everyday operations, but we hope you consider any chance to keep helping us make an impact within our communities near and far. Below are a variety of organizations and sources in which you can explore volunteer opportunities.

We are frequently recognized by local, national and international organizations for our positive work environment, focus on our associates and career opportunities. To us, each award is a true testament to the culture here, and shows the company not only has a passion for pets, but also strives to improve the quality of associates' lives at work. We're proud of everyone who continues to make us a leader in the pet care industry. Here is a sampling of some of the awards we are proud to have received:
