Pros

Great culture focused on "consumer first" and winning as a team. "Do the right thing all the time" is the core value and is truly lived day to day. Strong focus on individual development, through training and through regular job rotation at all levels of the organization. On a journey to operate more globally and react more nimbly to meet consumer needs like a small startup could.

Cons

Change isn't always easy, and we're going through a lot of change in structure and process in order to compete in a rapidly changing market. It's uncomfortable or frustrating for some people who were used to long years of prosperity and profitability without the need to change.

Pros

Great culture and truly amazing coworkers. Strong company history of success with iconic brands.

Cons

The company is going through a super tough season. Lots of jobs being moved offshore and it feels like nonstop restructuring / job loss. Job security feels very tenuous and morale is low.
