Daily Duties at Quaker Oats:
I worked for Quaker Oats from 1994 - 1997 until they divested their 8 Food Service division plants for which I was the Corporate Q.A. leader. In those three years I computerized all 8 plants with on-line SPC workstations, executed a new Supplier Quality Process and was lead auditor for my division. They asked me to return to work for them in the Contract Manufacturing arena at their Chicago HQ from 2000 - 2003 until Pepsico bought Quaker Oats which dismantled the Quaker succession plans for high performers for which I was one, at which time I left the company for an advancement opportunity.
What they like about Quaker Oats:
Working in an organization that is technologically advanced, creative, and innovative is critical in your assessment of hiring companies. Less important to you are stability of the organization, the length of time an organization has been in business, and the business' plans for the future. You prefer a fast-moving company that will take risks to achieve its goals and objectives. The length of time the company has been in business is irrelevant. Maintaining status quo is unnecessary. You thrive on change, uncertainty and the upside of potential business risks, especially those associated with innovation. Stability for the long haul is not nearly as important as is working in an atmosphere that is charged with a sense of urgency and constant change.
