This place is a meat grinder.

Pros

Strong global brands, highly innovative with strong marketing support. A good place to gain some experience for the next company you work for.

Cons

Lack of work/life quality......it's a meat grinder, and not a place to work if you expect recognition from management (unless you kiss up to management). Do not value tenured/experienced employees, especially if there is a cheaper option. Continually cut back on employee benefits for middle management and below (such as stock option plan), but not for upper management. Not a great way to build morale with the people that work the hardest. Speak about corporate "values" and inclusion, but senior management doesn't "walk the talk". It's do as I say and not as I do.

Mismanaged company that doesn't care about it's front-line

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

The job is stable and consistent. The benefits are pretty good.

Cons

The hours are very long, expect to work 55 hours or more. The majority of management was hired straight out of college, and received very little on the route training. As a result there is a disconnect between immediate management and front-line. Senior management makes very bad decisions that have a negative impact on the business, and blame the front line for the failures. The company as a whole promotes a culture of "us vs them," that leaves the front line employees feeling disenfranchised, taken for granted, and abused. Senior management sees experience as a negative when looking to promote. Favoring instead people with little experience but with an "education."
