Pros

Good products, good distribution, high market share. Campus is very nice if you don't mind getting buzzed by the CEO in his helicopter now and again. Supply chain seems to have their act together.

Cons

CEO fires anyone who is any good (disagrees with him), only lap dogs are left. He creates chaos by constantly changing strategies and priorities. Products are barely legal, the regulatory function is a joke - if EPA ever scratched below the surface they'd be in trouble (can't really tell how much active is in a given product, they just average everything out.) HR is the worst. They changed rating system 4 times in the 5 years I was there. Very arbitrary.

Pros

Weekly pay, 2 of the supervisors are sweet.

Cons

Everything else, not as friendly as you they put on, Not as diverse as you think it is. Mirco-bullying and racism but they won't admit it and will try to cover it up
