“As a company with more than 120 years in the marketplace, we are thrilled that our iconic brands connect with millennials,” said Michele Buck, president North America, Hershey. “Young people want to work for companies that make the brands they love and where they are able to make a difference and give back to the community.”

As the demographics of US consumers continue to shift in the coming years, millennials will have a greater influence on the marketplace in terms of purchasing power and impact on trends. Because of this, Hershey says it is dedicated to incorporating employees that reflect these changes.

 “We welcome eager and talented young professionals into our workplace,” added Kevin Walling, senior vice president and chief human resources officer, Hershey. “Diversity of thought, perspectives and experiences make for stronger teams and ideas—key ingredients for Hershey to achieve success across the snack continuum.”
