Pros

-Very good health insurance -Nice corporate office with plenty of "creature comforts" -Ethical and genuinely interested in doing the right thing -Strong work-life balance programs; but most people are too overworked to take advantage of them

Cons

-Compensation equity issues and lack of pay for individual performance -Limited advancement opportunities for stellar performers and high potentials; leads to a culture of extreme competitiveness for a limited number of development track roles in Sales & Marketing -Very hierarchical "yes" culture, which is overly process driven -Not a good place for experienced hires and longer term employees who aren't at Director level

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.
