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.

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.
