Nestlé Purina North America

In 2001, Nestlé acquired Ralston Purina to form Nestlé Purina PetCare Company. Nestlé's rich history in pet care, with brands such as Friskies®, Fancy Feast®, Mighty Dog® and Alpo®, combined with Purina's strong heritage and pet care expertise, created a globally competitive leader. By globally competitive, we mean that we’re consistently No. 1 in sales, volume and market share. Joining our Purina Family means more than striving to be the undisputed experts of pets and serving as the voice of the larger pet care category. You’ll become an integral part of the world’s largest food company – a global network of people and opportunities that will exceed your every expectation.

We’re inspired by a dare to Stand Taller. The moment you walk through our doors, you’ll be inspired by that same dare. You’ll quickly learn that passion is our pulse. You don’t have to be a pet owner to work here, but you must be able to do what we call ‘find your square’ – find passion in the work you do, the individuals you work with and the opportunities you experience. Within our walls, you’ll discover ways to do what’s never been done before – in work and life – and you’ll do it with integrity, performance and expertise. Your relentless pursuit to break boundaries, pioneer new innovations and revolutionize the bond between pets and people will help you fit right in. Join our Purina Family. Working together, #WeStandTaller.

We hire veterans because it's more than an act of patriotism. Whether just coming home to the loved ones who missed you, or deploying for another mission, you've always met us wearing the same stoic smile. It's that same kind of 'Smile Tall' at Purina that has inspired us for over 100 years. Your "all for one, one for all" mentality is immediately transferable. Your skills are adaptable, matched with discipline and rooted within an excellence orientation that makes for a perfect fit at Purina.

A few words from our associates:

“My situation is unique because although I am still in the Missouri National Guard (Public Noncommissioned Officer), I am getting ready to transition out of the military permanently due to a service-connected disability as a result of being wounded in combat. Because of that, I have needed to take time off for medical appointments and evaluations that sometimes come up at the very last second or at oddly-scheduled times. The work-life balance promoted here at Purina is truly something special. I really feel cared for – not just as an employee but as an individual person.”

“I found that my experience in the Navy (Hospital Corpsman/HM3) provided me with the leadership and crisis management skills that helped me be more advanced than my peers when I entered the corporate world. It was the unique opportunity for me as a nurse that initially drew me to Purina. But after joining, I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of respect the company and associates had for veterans. They created a very positive environment for a veteran that I hadn’t yet experienced in previous roles.”
