      What could be better than getting paid to talk about gum and candy?!

      Pros

      The company cares a lot about people development and training. Associates are given a lot more responsibility and autonomy to make decisions compared to other companies I have worked in. The people here are SMART and fun to work with and for. Did I mentioned we work on amazing brands?

      Cons

      We tend to re-organize more than other companies in order to meet changing needs and demands. If you are not comfortable with change/ambiguity, this might not be the culture for you.

      Pros

      Smaller business unit that allows for collaboration across functions Nice office location

      Cons

      Leadership including management team is incompetent - no idea what they are doing; people with little experience in what they are doing are promoted Management does not take accountability for actions, instead likes to push the blame to others in the organization Cannot voice opinions unless in line with leadership (or see your performance reviews suffer) Mediocrity is rewarded Management pretends to care about associates - with lunches, cupcakes, and smiles, but this is all a farce The principles of the organization do not show themselves here which is an utter disappointment given that this segment is run by a family member.
