Pros

5 Principles Great brands Private ownership Company Pension Entrepreneurial environment Egalitarian work environment Competitive pay and benefits Amazing hometown (Nashville, TN) Global workforce (lots of cross-pollination from global worksites) Big focus on employee engagement (nearly 100% gallup survey participation) Global employee recognition programs You can bring dogs to work

Cons

Leadership is well intentioned, but completely out of touch Suburban office location with plans on moving 30 miles outside of town Lack of community involvement with employees (work, go home, repeat) Lack of community involvement from the corporation (not engaged in the Nashville community at all) There's a designated "cry room" where they take people before they fire them and walk them out without warning. Every associate knows someone who got axed because it happens far too often Unable to execute strategies that win in the market No bonus in the last two years Promotions never happen - 50% of the office stays in the same role virtually forever if they keep their heads down Tough place for young people, gays, women or minorities - very old school environment, not much technology, terrible systems, antiquated corporate policies haven't been updated since the mid 2000's

Pros

Work/life balance, good pay and benefits. Great relationship with immediate supervisors and co workers. Fun and flirty offices, close to public transpiration.

Cons

Upper management, especially in Supply Chain was awful. Never listened to their employees. Very aggressive in their management style, no appreciation for years of service, played favorites. Ran a very lean office, which was fine expect they never showed any type of appreciation for the hard work done by employees. Driven by the the desire to be promoted at the expense of her staff. The staff was lead by fear, people dropped life flies around this director. You would be hard pressed to find many employees over the age of 50 there.
