Pros

Strong portfolio of brands. Sr. Leadership is well intentioned. There are a number of talented people who work here. Company generally pays well.

Cons

The company culture doesn't match the pay. Onboarding for experienced new hires is terrible. Company has a VERY strong culture that is difficult for new hires to get acclimated to. "We want New & Different ways of thinking/working" has almost become the company mantra but the culture tends to shun "new & different" instead of reward it. Diversity of people, culture, and ethnicity is not as acceptable as the company thinks it is. Company has been affected by a rash of turnover and the leadership doesn't seem to care.
