Pros

Most of the people who work for this company are all around good people with a passion for the product and the customers that they serve.

Cons

- While most people who work here are great, the upper levels of management are horrible. They are manipulative, unskilled, and unkind. - The corporate culture is one of fear, people are scared they may lose their job, or have their compensation drastically changed and so they do not act. - This company is a prime example of one with too many managers and not enough workers. You will work very long hours just to accomplish your basic job functions while multiple managers make additional requests of you.

Brand recognition in most markets for most product categories. Presence in Walmart creates mass market exposure.
