Pros

Good people and great brands If you enjoy alcohol brands, some of the most respected brands in the industry Very customer centric organization High profit margin business Above average benefits Opportunity to work for a leading CPG company Good training programs for associates The company continues to invest in infrastructure

Cons

Limited promotional options in Plainfield. Need to be willing to move to Norwalk CT to move up the ladder. Not a lot of sharing of talent between the plant and R&D sides of the wall at Plainfield. Men tend to get passed over for promotions in favor of women. Some females getting promoted far too quickly. Favoritism towards 24 year old Female Directors. Most Senior level managers come from the UK, Australia, South Africa. Limited options for those within the US.

Cons

Very political and inconsistent. People not treated equally. Double standards (drinking excessively and fraternising (exec romantically involved with staff). It can be a bit of "who you know and if UPI went to the right school.
