Pros

Great Environment to do an internship. You can see how the processes in a headquarter are have a lot to learn.

Cons

In such a big company impersonal work is something really typical and it's hard to find your way in the beginning.

Pros

High paying base salary, opportunity to travel.

Cons

VERY HIGH TURN OVER RATE FOR NEW EMPLOYEES. Training program is an absolute disaster, management is extremely disconnected with their employees, the amount of disorganization within this company is ridiculous seeing as though they are a national worldwide billion dollar business. The company culture is completely nonexistent and almost a third of employees have been there 20+ years making the work environment dull and very unexciting.

Pros

Good brand name. Product sells itself. Distribution helps sell the product. Quality along with high price put these products at the top of a commodity line.

Cons

Lots of ex-employees working for competition and copy the secret sauce. Tough to sell price increases when the competition is pricing at such a low level.
