How to make you feel miserable.

Recommend
Business Outlook

Pros

The name of the company on your resume. Apart from that, anything else comes to my mind.

Cons

Bad management who treats you badly. No career development policy at all but for those with relatives or close friends working at key positions within the company. 12-13 hours work days. They don't value at all people with innovative ideas and managers instead of teaching and heping you to be a better person and worker they feel afraid of you if they feel you are more talented than they are.

Leadership a very large issue at Danone

Pros

Good people across the organisation, a thriving bottom line, flexible work environment, and a company on a mission that is worth believing in and you can actually see in action globally. Good technology and a comfortable environment to work in.

Cons

Complete lack of strong senior executive leadership, and extremely incompetent leadership at executive level below that. A controlling, transactional management style prevails. The lack of professionalism and discretion at management level can be quite shocking at times, and seems to be rewarded with promotion in spite of an obvious inability to retain good talent as a result. Leadership at the company level take work and content from employees and present it upward, essentially using employees like machines or apparatus to get things done. The values, on paper, are wonderful but they are least in evidence the higher up you go in the organisation in Australia.

Pros

401k and Benefits. Good work life balance.

Cons

Can’t make a profit and won’t listen to employees. Attorneys are running the business and are clueless. Still chasing competition never understand why. Hiring young and laying off their highly skilled older reps.
