Pros

Surrounded by talented, collaborative, modest people who have a "can do" attitude. Ability to work on many different iconic brands in different stages of growth. Large group of people in the GMI marketing community but has a small feel b/c everyone gets to know one another. Well-managed

Cons

Some unfairness in who is required to do non-traditional marketing roles. Some people work on established brand after established brand so they, naturally, become better-performers on established brands than their peers who have worked on new products, channels, etc.

Pros

Great people, okay schedule, some perks and benefits were okay.

Cons

Manufacturing, so always wanting more with less. Hard to please as they are constantly changing everything.
