Very low morale

Pros

The products are good. The company is committed to its natural values and to giving back to the community.

Cons

The soul of Burt's Bees is gone and has been replaced by fear and infighting since we have become completely integrated with Clorox. This is no longer a collaborative environment; there is no longer any trust. New members of leadership join from Clorox, but refuse to relocate.

Pros

Fun product, good company values Compensation seems to be above market in general for Triangle area but when factoring in all the hours you will work, you end up making less. At least I have a job

Cons

Remote leadership Politics Systems suck! Poor work/life balance Some people have drunk the punch, can't see the forest through the trees and seem to think all is well. Clorox "fear based" culture is creeping in Performance evals are subjective and driven mainly by people's opinions and not actual work performance. It pays to be a "yes" man to everyone. Managing up is more important than managing down. The way up is on the backs of your subordinates.
