Hershey Information

[sassymolassy]

I'm looking to find out as much information as possible about The Hershey Company and their corporate flight department. I have done a pretty exhaustive search via the internet but found very little. From what I understand they have 2 C650's but that is all of the information I have been able to find...

Is there a site I can go to for more information on The Hershey Company's flight department?
if not...
Does anyone have information? (Airplanes, culture, schedules, pay, etc...)

Thanks in advance for any help

S/F,
SMolassy

Does anyone have any insight on Hershey's pay, fleet, and schedule?

 

[BenderGonzales]

Do those minimums seem extraordinarily low to anyone else?

They're a great company with a couple of citations, not sure what type. I think they pay well. Can't believe they're posting let alone hiring, one of those companies that someone has to die to get into and than there is a waiting list a mile long.

That position's filled, ladies. Just the post-factotum HR rigmarole to make it an EOE job.

I have different information than what is stated above by Sig.

I received the following email today:

"Dear valued applicant,
We wanted to advise you that the First Officer / Senior First Officer position with The Hershey Company has been cancelled. However, we are replacing this position with a Captain level opening. Please visit www.hersheys.com/careers (under the Department Function - Flight Operations) to review the revised job description and new requirements. If you are interested in being considered for this opportunity, please reapply for this position and complete a new questionnaire.
Thank you for your continued interest in The Hershey Company!

hate the fify line quotes

That sounds promising. Maybe a new position opened- all I know is that a feller I fly with quite often no longer is with us, and went to Hershey last week. Flew with him about three and a half weeks ago for the last time, and KABOOM- one less Sig flying with a Sig and he gave me the drop right after he interviewed.

It well and truly sounds like a great gig. I'd take it in a split second. Then again, I don't have 10K hours TPIC.

Well, ain't I a huge moron. I have a trip scheduled with him this month... I called, and he concurred. Looks good for the hopefuls.
