      Pros

      They'll pay you a decent wage, so you can afford a nice apartment to go cry in for six hours before you have to be back for another 12 hour shift. And another. And another. Continue for 6 months until you give up on life.

      Cons

      Worked 80 hours a week. NO time for a life at home. Erratic, constantly changing hours. days off are few and far between. They will literally work you to death without any remorse. I was having thoughts of self-harm and suicide by the time I was able to get away from this terrible place.

      Pros

      Great people, strong brands, and a lot of ownership. I’ve had opportunities to manage large spend portfolios, lead cross-functional projects, and work with teams across Supply Chain, Finance, Quality, and R&D. The company invests in development and provides exposure to senior leadership that can help accelerate your career.

      Cons

      Performance and rewards don’t always feel aligned. High performers can sometimes feel underappreciated, and career advancement can be slower than expected due to organizational complexity and internal politics. Decision-making can also take longer than it should because of the number of stakeholders involved.
