      Pros

      ...Because they're either from people outside the U.S. or are interns/"future leaders" - who get treated like royalty. I know of at least one intern who got a company car. Great company to work for if you're under 30 and happen to like New Jersey. Medical insurance benefits are pretty standard, and many managers allow flexibility such as working from home on occasion. Summer hours. [Disclaimer: although those are indeed perks, even the lowest level employees are expected to be available and checking emails at night and on weekends.]

      Cons

      If you're over 30 - forget it (and they probably wouldn't even look at your resume anyway). They re-org every 2-3 years and unless you want to live in New Jersey, you'll never be promoted. So many of the experienced people have been pushed out and replaced with kids fresh out of college who get promoted every year, so it's a revolving door of "trainees" that the rest of us are stuck trying to train. It is also a very cutthroat, competitive environment. If you're more of a team player and not an aggressive Type A, you'll get nowhere. The behavior of some managers is deplorable; I have witnessed and experienced it firsthand. And those are the kinds of people who get promoted.

      Pros

      Working with brands you grew up with is really exciting! The people I have met have all been amazing as well!

      Cons

      Everyone I have talked to are overworked and feel underpaid and despite the amount of work they do, there is no recognition or appreciation. Upper management is a mess and UL is constantly restructuring, often going from new BACK to the old structure while simultaneously letting people go leaving more people overworked. While most people are amazing, there are a few micromanagers where expectations are unknown. In addition, the lack of communication is awful. Often, I hear about certain cuts through the vine rather than directly from the people involved
