Good Place to Work, But Lots of Changes

Pros

Great brands, good people for the most part. Love the industry.

Cons

Lots of change in structure, and often feels as if the most qualified candidate doesn't get the promotion - alot about who you know and who likes you rather than talent possibility.

Pros

Company has great benefits including brand ambassador program that provides $225 per quarter of alcohol and branded material to all salaried employees.

Cons

Culture is intense with cronyism running rampant. People are often promoted primarily based on who you know and who likes you versus merit. The current environment has resulted in a lot of strong contributors being let go or leaving. If you are from the US the likelihood that you will be retained in senior management in North America is low, with global leadership preferring to bring in European leaders who struggle understanding US culture. In their quest to increase profitability they really don't understand how to do it, instead relying on the "flavor of the month" model.
