Pros

- Open office environment. Everyone is approachable and accessible. - Great products that consumers are passionate about. - Track record of breakthrough advertising and thought leadership on marketing best practices. - Numerous opportunities for marketing training - Regular rotations between different types of brand roles.

Cons

- Like most CPG firms, processes can be slow. Not able to quickly react to marketplace considerations. - Pay seems to trend below industry average, though bonus payouts can be significant - Hackettstown location (but most associates work from home one day/week, and many car pool from NYC or Morristown)

Pros

Great people who believe in a common mission. Strong leadership and support.

Cons

Budgets and decision making for technical programs are centralized at a high level with little to no consideration for how it affects individual programs and their unique needs. Heavy bureaucracy involved in setting up simple things.
