No Structure/Standards

Pros

Good product. Most people are nice. Benefits are really good. Location. Good and bad because of turn over there is room to move. If you could remove the Cons this would be a great company to work for.

Cons

Depends on department. Management. No Structure. No Standards. Not all departments but some have no structure or standards from Management. Some get away with ANYTHING. Attitude, gossip, badmouthing, work ethic, job performance, attendance, etc. Makes an extremely uncomfortable working environment and sometimes even HOSTILE. Executives practicing "Friends hiring Friends" cycle creates more problems than it solves.

Friendly people. Pay is OK.

Pros

Type of work is important as it's making purely natural products. Collaboration between departments is good at the non-management level employees.

Cons

Management has "lead by fear" culture, which causes high turnover. Not open to changes. Management says they have "open door" policy, but it's really chain of command.
