At Dot Foods, we owe much of our success to

the diversity of our work force. We embrace the

perspectives that each individual brings to the company. In fact, it is their ideas

that are helping us double in size every five years, growing from a small company

in Illinois farm country to a $4.5 billion company. Today, Dot employs over 4,000people in 10 states across the country. As a family owned company, we try to treat

each of our employees not as numbers, but as a vital part of the family. We not only

respect all opinions, we count on them to make us successful. If this sounds like

an environment you would like to work in, find out more. Visit DotFoods.com.
