Pros

1. You start with 3 weeks vacation time a year . 2. The salaries are not bad but you better walk on water.

Cons

1. Better use your vacation time to plan for sickness or you get "incident points". 2. Level positions are called 'zones' and higher zone people ignore lower zone people. You are not as valuable as they are. 3. One of the company's '5 Principles' is Mutuality, yet only Non Exempt employees need to clock in and out. Exempt (Salary) employees don't need to clock out, meaning they can pretty much come into the office, pretend to work for a little bit, then go and take the day off if they want and no one cares.

Pros

Working on fun brands Good pay and benefits Great manufacturing base Power of dollars with agencies Global network of colleagues

Cons

If you like being kicked in the crotch on a regular basis, this is the place for you. Senior management is clueless, they have reorganized 3 times in the last 5 years, and are now cutting into the bone, as they are way past the meat. The internal competition for the vanishing opportunities is fierce, we compete more with colleagues than competitors. Managers are prodded to display "managerial courage" which means nothing more than become an "axe man". HR is the most secretive and insidious component of the organization, and is frightening in their intimidation and control. If fearful cooperation is your gig, this is the place for you, and don't forget to punch the timeclock on your way in!
