Pros

- Good Brands - Lots of training and development - Benefits - 1/2 Friday in summer and decent PTO - Decent culture of wanting to grow and improve

Cons

- Salary below average - they like to say in line with peers, but lower for sure - Leadership gives perception of change, but the way we sell and market is never innovative. It is the same thing we did just 5 years ago - Resistance to change across organization - Little to no accountability. Someone can totally mess up and somehow get promoted through the right political alignments

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.
