One thing you can always count on are how often there are changes

Pros

Most people are great to work with and have the expertise to do their job well. The products are wonderful and the goal of sustainability was real, not just smoke and mirrors.

Cons

BB is a constantly changing organization in consistent flux of goal setting and unable to balance meeting Clorox objectives versus what's right for the consumer. Intentions are often good, but the culture of more/more/more is counter to the values touted. It ends up being a place where excellent work is demanded in an accelerated pace without necessary resourcing or support for work/life balance.

Pay not commensurite with work done

Pros

A job with benefits until you find a better one.

Cons

The pay is not great. Company makes a lot of money, but their greediness overrrides their employees happiness. Low employee morale-mgmt more concerned about putting work out than paying attn to employees needs. Like working in a sweatshop. The majority of mfg workers cannot speak nor understand a bit of English!

WAS a great place to work. May still be for some. Be wary of the future.

Pros

Burt's Bees was a highly entrepreneurial place to work. Small enough that you could have a high degree of responsibility and variety in your work. A place which rewarded + encouraged passion heroic efforts and risk taking. Environmental Sustainability is for real (discussed further in cons). Great brand. Some great people.

Cons

Unfortunately, bigger is not better. Many of the traits listed under "Pros" have been bleached out by Clorox and bureaucracy is an unfortunate necessity stemming from years of growth. Now is the time to toe the company line and communicate about aligning synergies in Oakland-speak. re: sustainability. Make no mistake that Burt's Bees is a yellow company trying to be green. It talks the talk and is great with a soft hand on marketing that aspect of the brand. However, the real commitment is not all encompassing nor felt by all employees. Change will continue.
