Our Mission
& Values
The people of Simmons
are building a great company
using innovative ideas
to provide quality food
products and services
to a changing world.
We work for our customers' brand.
Our customers have a vision, an aspiration; an idea that just might change everything. We're here to help them make it happen.
Safety: Working safely is how we do it.
Simmons is committed to providing all our employees with a safe, healthy workplace.
We believe we’re doing the right thing by creating an environment where employees can do their best, most productive work. We value our employees and believe everyone deserves to be treated with dignity and respect. Our workplace culture is guided by our Core Values and No Fear philosophy.

Lean: A little better everyday.
Lean is focused on creating the most value for customers while minimizing waste and using fewer resources.
We started our Lean journey over a decade ago and are continuously working to make it an important part of our culture. As a certified training center for Lean, Simmons has trained thousands of employees and community members in Lean rules and principles. We also developed a proprietary follow up to Lean called "B.E.S.T." (Better, Easier, Safer, Today).
Total Rewards: So much more than pay.
Each of us wants to be part of an organization where we will have great experiences in our work, but we are also interested in the pay and other benefits that will help us grow at work and in our lives. The value each of us receives in exchange for our work is often called “Total Rewards”.
Total Rewards describes everything we get from our employer that we find rewarding including compensation, benefits, recognition, talent development, performance management and resources to maximize our work-life effectiveness.

Since 2005, Simmons' Chaplains have been coming alongside and investing in our people.

Our team has taken our experience in pastoral care and developed this resource to encourage and equip you through whatever season of life you are in right now. We hope you find what you are looking for, and we look forward to connecting with you soon.
