Pros

company car..gas card...medical benifits....dental benifits...401k

Cons

They give you a territory that should have 3 sales reps in it and expect you to grow the business..since the Lindt take over some full timers have either been fired or left on their own because of conditions of their work load ( cannot get it done..spinning your wheels like a maniac) and have been replaced with 3 part timers...which we have been telling them for years...Lindt has let go of 3 executive managers..THANK GOD FOR THAT!!!! They need to continue to clean house....DVP'S DM'S and manager of Sales Reps needs to go..they don't have the vision to be team players...in the past it was all about them and ruling with an iron fist...I think it speaks volumes when we had a huge conference call with announcing the new roll-out of Lindt's plan for Russell Stover and our fearless leader asks us do we have any questions?? and there is dead silents...nobody asked not even one question lol...hopefully HR will see that we have no respect for top managment...they all need to be replaced in order to move forward..for to long everything has fell on deaf ears...they are a bunch of lying cohoarts trying to save their own butts!!!

Pros

“One of the most rewarding parts of my role was building my team and continuing to learn. The plant employees consistently supported one another, which made the work meaningful.”

Cons

Corporate leadership made collaboration difficult. Criticism was frequent and often came from individuals without plant-level knowledge. I was told I was “wrong” while actively teaching and supporting them. Corporate leadership operated under different rules than the plants, including separate vacation plans and holidays. Equal treatment was never achieved, and the belittling behavior was unlike anything I had experienced in a professional environment. The culture reflected a clear “do as I say, not as I do” mentality. In my experience, Corporate HR lacked transparency and demonstrated questionable ethical practices. Accountability was inconsistent, which made it difficult to lead effectively and retain strong talent.
