Pros

Decent work-life balance, good benefits, years of paying out dividends on our stock, diversified portfolio within CPG, smart employees, team-oriented environment, great facilities

Cons

Can take a longer time to climb the corporate ladder than what you'll find at other companies. Needs to figure out how to grow the business with healthier products that people actually want to buy.

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.
