Poor management and low morale

Business Outlook

Pros

the company is relocating to Connecticut. All those middle managers from Dial who did nothing, did not know how to manage, mentor, coach, will now be out of work. Couldn't happen to a nicer group of people.

Cons

lots of people, but very unfriendly. No one spoke to me for six months! Very toxic environment. you work and work and work, and the next day it's the same all over. Lots of favoritism and nepotism. Adios, Henkel!

Business Outlook

Pros

I really cannot think of any to be honest

Cons

Long hours, terrible morale, decisions made at top with little to no thought, extremely under staffed, and management has no clue about North American market. Germany decides everything and doesn’t let the US do anything for themselves. Constant budget cuts, ridiculous processes, and changes made without asking the people they will impact!!!!

Pros

Some good people to work with. Lots of different products allow you to learn different CPG landscapes. If you like working in giant corporations, you'll probably like it.

Cons

The German HQ does all the strategic thinking, budgeting and any work that requires more than 14 brain cells to do. Your job is to push paper to accomplish what HQ deems is the flavor of the week on top of your already unmanageable workload. There is constant movement among brand teams, which means continuity = non-existent. Unfortunately, HQ also thinks strategies and plans are one-size fits all and have a limp-handshake of a grasp on the US market. Getting one small thing done requires eons of signatures, jumping through hoops, moving mountains etc... that make the company top heavy and difficult to navigate.
