THE FAMILY BUSINESS ATMOSPHERE

From the beginning, Cagle's has taken pride in the special atmosphere that goes with a family business. Upon the passing of George Cagle in 1978, J. Douglas Cagle, who is Chairman and CEO today, proudly continued the tradition that his father had begun. His two sons- George D. Cagle and James D. Cagle- are vice presidents of the company.

In a family business, it's easier to keep relationships informal. Management takes pride in the fact that there are "no closed doors." The company contributes to pension plans for union workers and to 401K plans for non-union employees along with a comprehensive benefits package. Employee support throughout the years, in spite of the ups and downs of the poultry business, has made the difference in our continuing growth.

As a result, the staff has remained remarkably stable. Longevity is the rule, not the exception, and every department has employees with 10,20, even 25 years with the company.
