Pros

Very good brands that are well known and makes job easier selling in promotions. Good training opportunities if you take advantage of them.

Cons

Gone through 3 layoffs in 3 years.Seen older employees pushed out and replaced with younger employees. Their position wasn't ended but their jobs were. Company has pending age discrimination lawsuits against them. They tell younger employees you have to move with the company or it could hurt or possibly end your career. Ended their pension plan and removed stock sharing with Managers at mid level down

Pros

Great culture and truly amazing coworkers. Strong company history of success with iconic brands.

Cons

The company is going through a super tough season. Lots of jobs being moved offshore and it feels like nonstop restructuring / job loss. Job security feels very tenuous and morale is low.
