Careers

Putting People First

Why do people choose a career with Henny Penny? In addition to competitive pay and great benefits, we focus on their individual development, success, and overall well-being. People work at Henny Penny because they understand that everybody on our team matters. Our unique employee ownership model lets everyone have a financial stake in our success. Our wellness opportunities let everyone enjoy a healthy work/life balance. And our core values that we live every day assure everyone is treated with dignity and fairness.

Our Employees Are Owners

In 2015, after nearly a half-century of family ownership, Henny Penny established a trust through which every employee owns a stake of our company. Now, as Henny Penny thrives, our employee-owners share financially in that success as well. The result is an even stronger pride in ownership and attention to detail at every level. When our team puts the Henny Penny name on our products, they’re putting their names on it too. That’s the Henny Penny difference.
