Pros

Plenty of great benefits if working at HQ. Great coworkers and plenty of networking opportunities. Plenty of feedback from managers (although not always honest)

Cons

Management moves around promoting each other too much and too often. Never sticks around long enough to see the train wreck their policies can create. (I had more VPs, RM, and Directors than I did number of years with the company.) In order to advance must be selected early on. Once selected, job performance matters less than keeping on your managers good side. People are treated differently based on who the current management team is. Minneapolis winters and mosquitoes in the spring.

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.
