Pros
Strong brands on cola side
Cons
KDP says that they are working on being more inclusive but they are not. The company caters to the men. We recently had the first in person sales meet in years since COVID. The meeting was held on the Dallas Cowboys indoor practice field. As part of the meeting there was this room in the back where the men could get their pictures taken with cheerleaders wearing their uniforms which are like bikini sized outfits. They weren't out in the open or anything it was this sign pointing to this backroom "private" area where the guys could interact with very young barely dressed women. A step above the old days when sales guys would go to strip clubs. KDP says they respect women and their careers but when they pull stuff like this their actions show how they really feel about women and men's expectation that women are available for their oogling and entertainment. One look at any org chart within KDP shows that women are not valued as professionals within the organization either.
