Pros

None. They pay well as it's the only way to keep you!

Cons

Fake culture; lack of integrity at ownership level; ownership places themselves above everyone else, they know it all; it's do as I say not as I do; 3rd generation are spoiled brats.

Pros

Reliable pay, bonus and discounted paper products

Cons

Toxic, angry, arrogant work environment and you will constantly walk through land mines everyday. Very unhappy coworkers in all departments which is difficult to maintain mental wellness. The RD female executive screamed at me several times to drop everything I was in the middle of and address her demands, avoid her or do not work in diaper products. Witnessed several finance persons berated by a tenured cruel male. Logistics department is non existent and works below industry standards. After waiting weeks, he still could not calculate basic freight estimates to prepare capital estimate. Project management team in Philly does not follow basic PMP standards and practices. Reports are inaccurate, incomplete, undocumented and hard to follow; there are no defined processes and they don’t respond to email. Raw material supply chain analyst is very confrontational and provides unsubstantiated and incomplete information which makes calculating project very difficult. All of this makes daily and simple routines very challenging and stressful. Blame game is everywhere and no one cares. If you have thick skin and need to gain more experience, spend a year or two but do not linger. Carefully (!!!) consider relocating for this company, so many people regret it, even with their generous relo package.

Pros

Most of the reviews by "office people" at FQ are very positive. Yes, it is a wonderful place to work, if you can get one of these positions (i.e. you are a good schmoozer/close friends with "higher-ups" or have the right last name). You don't have to work that hard or be at all competent and pay and benefits are good. No accountability. Feel free to sexually harass people. It's all good.

Cons

If you are a production worker, this place is hell. You are treated and compensated like crap. No opportunities. Lose years off of your life from the physical toll of working 60+ hours of night shift a week and be completely emotionally broken down by being demeaned and insulted by ignoramuses daily.
