      Pros

      -Great coworkers -Great location for Metro Atlanta area -Beautiful corporate campus -Great health center/exercise facility and wellness programs -Decent benefits; medical/dental/profit sharing

      Cons

      -Management driven by Street results...regardless of internal "cost" -Respect for employees/indviduals marginal at best -Old boy network; promotion based on who you know/currying favor -Limited recognition of individual contribution -Old forced ranking system was deadly; new system is inexplicable -Average pay now limited by "Market Based Compensation" measures -Internal employee motivation programs based on ludicrous consultant recommendations -Unresolved struggle between old school and new school management philosophies @ top -Lean and mean has become corporate anorexia; too many tasks, too few people -Top management completely out of touch with day-to-day employee issues, needs and activities -Ridiculous internal computer/data systems for day-to-day operation with no training; systems change with no announcement, leaving non-IT employees to "work it out on the ground" -Team leaders/directors have their eyes pointed upwards; very limited contact/direction for their teams

      Gross Mismanagement

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The people are great. At least the few who haven't left. Tons of talent has been driven out or has left the company. Senior Executives are getting incredibly rich. New Vice Presidents, almost all external hires, pop up almost daily.

      Cons

      Wave after wave of layoffs and recent mill closings have resulted in a disenchanted work force in many areas. Cost cutting is now cutting to the bone. Fat was cut away many years ago. If you aren't in health care expect ongoing budget cuts to continue. This leadership has no idea how to spend profits to grow the company. Bring your own water - nothing is free. Layers of management coupled with political correctness gone wild make many groups unbearable to work for. Performance Management. If you are with KC you know what I'm talking about. This system is a cancer to the company and has sucked the life out of many great workers.

      Pros

      Fantastic assembly of people, some of the most iconic brands in the world and, depending on what brand you work for, the ability to independently manage a large swath of the business

      Cons

      Location relative to other CPG companies is not optimal and for 2-3 brands the amount of layered over-staffing can be stifling.
