Pros

Very family friendly - in fact, I believe they call it "Family First". KC strongly believes that family comes first and they allow a lot of time for your family. They also have excellent health benefits, and the work loads are manageable.

Cons

The concept of bottoms up leadership is odd. As a category manager you were not given goals but rather made up your own goals, then fed it up to top leadership. That seems backwards to me - I felt there should have been better leadership. It made for very slow progress on any projects that were attempted because goals across the company were not aligned.

Pros

Decent benefits package; good place to learn maketing process and consumer insights.

Cons

Marketers treat marketing as a rational, functional and commercial exercise; attend to consumers rational/functional needs well, miss on the emotional needs. No bonus for anyone below Director level. Remote location. Poor management; lack of real leaders.

Pros

It is easy to find a balance between work and family provided you do not aspire to advance within the company.

Cons

Little potential for advancement within the technical community. Management has shifted from assisting career growth to leaving the individual to fend for themselves.
