      Pros

      Great history and business model. Solid management processes with amazing operations and quality products. Global presence and diversified markets provide a unique environment. St. Louis campus is amazing with gym, great cafeteria and on site medical.

      Cons

      Going thru restructuring and downsizing. Lots of internal politics with brand weakness and corporate / group / division level conflicts. Lack of real commitment to marketing at the division level. No crm or marketing automation, no content strategy or support and minimal budgets for ad placements or digital platform development.

      Pros

      Great immediate supervisor and their boss. Made top-down communications tolerable. Great co-workers and great collaboration that lifted the entire team.

      Cons

      (1) RIF based on tenure, not performance. HR is too powerful a department, and everyone fears it. (2) Tenure made you lazy, killed creativity, initiative, and promoted a "yes" culture. (3) During COVID layoffs, CEO pay went from $3.7 million to $15.x million, while employees endured 25% furloughs for 3 months, and management 10% reduction in pay for 6 months - explain how that is reasonable. (4) CEO declared DEI as the way forward for career mobility, and a lot of young, promising talent walked out the door, including DEI-qualified minorities. (5) I was one of those minorities.
