Pros

Looks good on resume....but after 2 years you should leave this hell)))))

Cons

All the changes that company is going through now makes it a terrible place to work. One of the divisions is going to be dismissed totally by the end of thisyear baecause company is outsourcing from India. The most funny thing is that people from this devision are traning Indian team now, and after training is over - US people will be fired ))) isn't it funny???????

Pros

Large company with US and Global business. Industry-leading CPG data and service provider. Great compay to get a strong CPG foundation, or lead a focused career in analytics. Work-life balance can be what you make of it. Company can be very flexible, especially for top performers.

Cons

Roles can be very similar, leaving less room for vertical career growth. Company is focused on service-model changes that aren't necessarily the best options. Pay is less than comparable positions with manufacturers. Management can be unsupportive in ensuring associates have the right type of work. Some of the tools are difficult to use/inadequate.
