Pros

401k is better than any other company. Pay is best in the area.

Cons

No longer has good 401k options, was making 20% return now can only make 4% return due company changing what options we could pick. Healthcare cost has risen 500%, PPO won't cover until you are out of pocket $4,000 then cover 80/20 which puts you further in the hole if you are hourly (salary has bonuses that cover that cost). If you are hourly it is very difficult to move into salary due to management assigning labels how employees are. (You need to be the right skin color to move up quickly due to affermitive action) HR sets quotas on what skin color to hire.

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.
