Work your butt off to get where you want/should be, then it becomes enjoyable.
Pros
Good Pay, decent benefits, good advancement opportunities if you are labeled a "promotable" candidate. It is the largest snack foods company in the world so it is very stable and good company to be with during a recession.
Cons
Work life balance is non-existent in the field. You have senior management telling you that you need to be checking emails and answering calls while you try to relax and recover from the work week. Just because someone above you is comfortable working 70-80 hr weeks and not seeing there loved ones doesn't mean that I want to do the same. I work to support my family and I'd like to be able to see them more. A lot of pressure to hit your plans/031 that it gets to incompetent managers who can't handle it and they take it out in unprofessional ways on their direct reports. Can't tell you how many times my job has been threatened because my boss wasn't doing his job, but this is more a fault of his management style than the company. The only thing I don't agree with is that when HR gets notified this is going on...DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT! I love the position I am in now but the field is tough and if you don't have the rock hard outer surface then you will be chewed up and spit out.
