Was a Great Place to Work but not so much of late

Pros

Amazing products; Dynamic industry; Have some truly dedicated and caring people who have a passion to do more than what is expected. We could be a bigger player. Hopefully with a new Chairman on board, the course will be corrected, but numerous changes in leadership and expectations of them need to happen. We have a great culture.

Cons

Leadership took a big step backwards with the latest change of executives. We don't refresh our brands and don't practice anywhere near what we preach. We disregard people despite what we preach. We restructure often and hire outside parties to constantly evaluate and recommend what we should do ss, which we usually either disregard, are very slow to take action on, or hire more consultants. We ride our brand names but really don't know how to refresh them. Opportunities are based on who you know not what you know or how well you apply it. Poor diversity at the leadership levels despite what they preach in leadership ranks. Work Life Balance. It is not in balance if you spend more time working in your off days as much as you do when you are "working." We don't live our values as much as we write very large documents to show we have them. Very poor HR execution and ownership.

Very unhappy for a long time

Pros

Great benefits and perks...that's about it.

Cons

Work/life balance is non-existent. You're not rewarded based on your performance. Their performance review process is the most ridiculous thing I've ever experienced! Management seems to only care about their image as opposed to the well-being of the employees. The morale is very low, but Management does not seem to care about that. I would actually recommend this company to my worst enemy...just to make him/her suffer!

Pros

there are some very nice people. product allowance (granted it is much lower for non directors) and extremely large travel budgets

Cons

Company is extremely insular - top management is 90% Pernod lifers and European. Culture is passive aggressive and hierarchical. leadership cannot make a decision or stick to it. lots of churn and inefficiency. true lack of empathy among leaders. company cannot face reality that Absolut is a dog that is draining resources. company is more focused on the dog and pony shows that actually gaining a consumer insight or doing an ROI analysis on spend. spend more time doing internal power point than driving business.
