Pros

The people are wonderful - truly genuine and collaborative. The company is trying to get business back on track and focus on the growth areas. There is a verbal change from driving profit to driving sales growth - much more exciting!

Cons

The culture has shifted - there are less family friendly opportunities (i.e. part time roles got reduced); manager jobs were created during the re-org and managers were told they would have larger teams and that would be their focus, but all of a sudden the jobs turned back into working manager jobs with huge teams; the leadership team is not very inspirational right now.

Cons

The people at this company especially in RGB department is so rude uneducated and management suppose to be professional they are not. These are grown people acting like kids. Who will want to work in hell hole like that.
