Pros

- plenty of opportunities laterally to gain experience - health benefits

Cons

- Rampant nepotism as it relates to promotions & “moving up the ladder” - bad/inappropriate behavior from leaders/employees is ignored & brushed under the rug (demeaning comments, yelling, borderline bullying) - leadership team has absolutely no self awareness or even the baseline of what it takes to be effective leaders - lack of integrity with career development opportunities— your merit means nothing if you’re not liked by all of leadership - Hypocrisy, bias & lack of logic in key decision making - “Growth opportunities” are a mask for saving a buck to not backfill critical roles and dump onto existing employees who are rockstars, without any reward, leading to burnout - Preach about wanting “disturbers to shake things up & think different” but reprimand them when they do - leadership team promoting wellness & career development with no authentic-ness behind it, just to check a box - High turnover rates, especially with POC is ignored

Pros

Great people, strong brands, and a lot of ownership. I’ve had opportunities to manage large spend portfolios, lead cross-functional projects, and work with teams across Supply Chain, Finance, Quality, and R&D. The company invests in development and provides exposure to senior leadership that can help accelerate your career.

Cons

Performance and rewards don’t always feel aligned. High performers can sometimes feel underappreciated, and career advancement can be slower than expected due to organizational complexity and internal politics. Decision-making can also take longer than it should because of the number of stakeholders involved.
