Pros

Excellent pay, vacation and benefits...Many internal systems to help you plan and perform your job adequately. Advancement opportunities to a point, does get competitive at manager level and beyond.

Cons

PASSIVE AGGRESSIVE! The organization does not like confrontation which hinders real conversations about the state of business. Communication is so over-articulated it's easy to miss the point. This organization is for Type A personalities that know how to network to get to the top - it's all about who you know.

Pros

Great culture and truly amazing coworkers. Strong company history of success with iconic brands.

Cons

The company is going through a super tough season. Lots of jobs being moved offshore and it feels like nonstop restructuring / job loss. Job security feels very tenuous and morale is low.
