Pros

The only reason to work at this plant is if you HAVE to live in the area and don't want a commute of more than 20 minutes.

Cons

No support at all from management at the department level. This plant is an environmental nightmare. You would think that a multibillion dollar company would have more environmental safeguards in place.

Pros

Driving a large haul truck was an interesting experience because of the enormous scale of the work environment. Operating a million pound piece of machinery is a very unique experience.

Cons

I was not adequately compensated for my work. At times I felt like I was treated unfairly because of my job title despite my abilities.

Pros

Offers flexibilty in balancing the work and the personal. Great learning opportunity to learn about all aspects of the cosmetic industry from sales to product development to production. New York office is centrally located in the heart of midtown.

Cons

Inefficiency permeates every department. Lack of internal communication. Resistance to positive change. Old infrastructure; accounting still uses AS 400. Reluctance to invest in time and money saving systems. They cut costs in counterproductive ways.
