Pros

- plenty of opportunities laterally to gain experience - health benefits

Cons

- Rampant nepotism as it relates to promotions & “moving up the ladder” - bad/inappropriate behavior from leaders/employees is ignored & brushed under the rug (demeaning comments, yelling, borderline bullying) - leadership team has absolutely no self awareness or even the baseline of what it takes to be effective leaders - lack of integrity with career development opportunities— your merit means nothing if you’re not liked by all of leadership - Hypocrisy, bias & lack of logic in key decision making - “Growth opportunities” are a mask for saving a buck to not backfill critical roles and dump onto existing employees who are rockstars, without any reward, leading to burnout - Preach about wanting “disturbers to shake things up & think different” but reprimand them when they do - leadership team promoting wellness & career development with no authentic-ness behind it, just to check a box - High turnover rates, especially with POC is ignored

Pros

Working at Unilever in Raeford offers strong overall benefits, including good pay for the area, solid health insurance, retirement options, and additional perks like tuition assistance and employee discounts. The company provides a stable work environment as a large global organization, with opportunities for career growth and skill development in a modern, well-maintained facility. Employees often highlight the team-oriented culture, supportive coworkers, and clean, safety-focused workplace. Overall, it’s considered a reliable employer with good work-life balance and long-term career potential.

Cons

Working there can involve long hours and rotating shifts, including nights and weekends, which can make work-life balance harder depending on your role. The job can also be physically demanding, especially in production or warehouse positions, requiring standing for long periods and repetitive tasks. Because it’s a large corporation, there can be strict policies, less flexibility, and slower decision-making. Additionally, while growth opportunities exist, advancement can sometimes feel competitive or slow without the right connections or timing.
