Pros

50% off staff discount. Free ice cream and coffee. Used to have purposeful culture and brands

Cons

Unilever has lost its way over the past few years of multiple senior leadership changes. Too focused on short term profitability, slow to react to market so always play catch up game. SG hub downsized because of high overhead costs. Current employees are extremely overworked with little impact on market share. Signals that strategy is wrong. Also throw away its sustainability agenda almost completely, despite pioneering and driving USLP during Paul Polman and Alan Jope’s time. This year’s COP30 contribution is evidence of blame-shifting.

Pros

Working at Unilever in Raeford offers strong overall benefits, including good pay for the area, solid health insurance, retirement options, and additional perks like tuition assistance and employee discounts. The company provides a stable work environment as a large global organization, with opportunities for career growth and skill development in a modern, well-maintained facility. Employees often highlight the team-oriented culture, supportive coworkers, and clean, safety-focused workplace. Overall, it’s considered a reliable employer with good work-life balance and long-term career potential.

Cons

Working there can involve long hours and rotating shifts, including nights and weekends, which can make work-life balance harder depending on your role. The job can also be physically demanding, especially in production or warehouse positions, requiring standing for long periods and repetitive tasks. Because it’s a large corporation, there can be strict policies, less flexibility, and slower decision-making. Additionally, while growth opportunities exist, advancement can sometimes feel competitive or slow without the right connections or timing.

Pros

It is a large company with a record of 3 years without a recordable injury. Occasionally feeds the employees

Cons

The biggest issue with this plant and it invades every aspect of the company is a complete lack of ability to properly communicate information. The applies internal to departments, across departments and up and down. They have the technology to do it, just not the organization. Company could probably use much more Engineering organization.
