      Global Train Wreck !

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good brands Good Employees Work life balance

      Cons

      New Globally managed marketing leadership looking for centralized control Turmoil in the NA Brand Team - turning most ABM and BM's to glorified paper pushers with no authority to make decisions - many biding time till they get the next new job Culture clashes and culture cliques very prevalent in the NA office - what used to be a group of employees from the Tri-state area & Chicago, has morphed into at least 50% or more employees on 2-3 year transfers from Latin America Deep distrust due to different working styles and unfair biases among employees who have moved in from Brazil, Argentina, Mexico & all of South America. They don't understand the US consumer, the customers, organized retail, processes or how to even communicate in English.

      Pros

      Generally nice people, good work life balance

      Cons

      Don't expect honesty, everyone is so averse to offending that feedback/criticism is vague, not constructive, and sugar coated. Actions take forever to be executed and full consensus must be attained before a plan is implemented, much too bureaucratic to maneuver nimbly.

      Poor Management and No Guidance

      Supply chain
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Work life balance. The company allows you to work from home when needed.

      Cons

      The company is constantly restructuring, spending all of their time focused on the bottom line and very little to no time on its actual employees. Transitions between roles are stretched out over months causing employees to work multiple jobs and long hours. Poor Management and turn over leaves employees either zero management or multiple mangers in one year. Programs in place for mentors or employer advancement are poorly managed unless you are a member of their SCMP program. Full time employees have the option to join a management program however the likelihoods of a promotion is low. Regular employee programs are so poorly managed that employees tend to wait over a year for a mentor. Unless you are hired from the outside compensation is very low. Recent college graduates are not offered competitive salaries and must leave the company in order to receive industry standard.
