How would you describe your culture?
Our culture is one that really stands out, which can be proven by the number of tenured employees here at Jergens who have worked here 15, 20, and over 25 years. With being founded back in 1942, there have been many changes, but one thing has remained constant – the core values of Jergens. A dedication to honesty, hard work, excellence in all we do, and a commitment to family. These values are the foundation upon which the company was built, the standard for how every Jergens employee conducts themselves today, and will continue to set the direction into the future as we continue to grow our family of employees.
With our culture employees can grow, succeed, and have fun no matter what department they work in because we are still one Jergens family.
