Pros

HQ is in a mid size affordable fun city which is great for families. The brands sell themselves for the most part, executive senior management has put this company on a growth course.

Cons

This is a very very large company and very very political. Some of the focus has shifted from marketing and selling great products to middle management promotions to “check the right boxes” leading to some leaders who are clearly not ready for highly visible roles. In a great economy, this is easy to disguise but when the economy slows, the leadership flaws will begin to show. So, like every big company with tenured employees, friends promote friends based mostly on that, they also accelerate promoting younger talent for fear of losing the next generation but most are just not ready. Nepotism and fear being down empires, I really hope that doesn’t happen. Hey, I have been the beneficiary of this practice but needed to be said. So, if you do join us don’t be surprised if your boss is all of 26 years old and has a whole 3 years under their belt.

Pros

Many intelligent people who are experts in their fields who are willing to help and provide advice (if they have time). Decent benefits and pay.

Cons

I mentioned time because many people are stretched and overworked. Work life balance is pretty bad and shows no signs of improvement. A lot of this can be attributed to near useless management. Every project is treated as absolute maximum priority but can still be dropped at a moment's notice. Work processes are horribly cumbersome and slow. Even small changes require many approvals but there are endless demands to "move faster".
