overrated

Pros

Three weeks vacation. Looks great on a resume. There is a small on site store that operates once a week and gives you discounts on a select variety of shampoos and teas

Cons

Layoffs too often. No Christmas party, catered lunches, team lunches or snacks in my experience. Hiring freezes means that when a team member moves on, goes on mat leave or is laid off, they are not replaced and the work goes back on you. False promises. The company doesnt pay out full bonus often enough. Recent changes in management means no more working from home or agile workplace compared to before. Payroll department makes payment and tax errors. If you're in supply chain, there is a chance you may be picked for Month End-- working weekends and evenings once a month for one year for no extra pay. Every year it seems there are new cut backs. Morale feels low.

Terrible.

Pros

Nothing is good about this company. They took all the good things away, like christmas parties, staff discounts on products, everything. They always lie and say they dont make money every year, let alone every year they purchase another product from another company to add to their profile.

Cons

Leadership is terrible. They have this mentallity of reaping all the money in the world, and they cant seem to comprehend that it will never happen. Little space for career advancement. Once your in a position, they basically try and hold you there so they can hire people from outside of the company for less money, then what they would be giving you if you were to get the new/higher position.
