Business Outlook
Pros
Young staff makes it fun and creative to work here. At times, it feels like working at a creative agency with the booze and parties in the office. Flexible and liberal work environment. Very good opportunity to meet with leading companies in CPG and build your network.
Cons
Lack of career direction and a flat corporate structure leads to a short career where you are stuck in the same old for years. Management has experimented with various things to motivate sales staff. The research team are bright and work horses that are treated as disposable resources as there is always a new grad student willing to step in. (and Chicago has two of the top MBA schools).
