Pros

It is a great company that praises life balance and rewards hard working talented employees. Its senior management is filled with top professionals that came from the top universities and top consumer goods companies. It's open doors policy is a great place to start a career. It has recently turned into a private company, which made the company go though a cultural shock and now it is self adjusting to excel in a high performance market with extremely talented people. It is located in Atlanta, a great city with cheap cost of living and great options for partners or significant others.

Cons

It is a huge company and you might e a little frustrated when trying to schedule a crucial meeting for the continuation of a project and realize that it took you 1 or 2 weeks until you managed to track down the right person and book some time with him or her. Nevertheless, the company has an open door culture and cross-functional meetings are easy to schedule and very welcome. Don't be surprised if a quick elevator conversation ends up with a meeting plus a trip to one of their mills or plants.

Not a very good company

Pros

At least you get a paycheck.

Cons

No career development, low salaries, management non-responsive. This job is worthless. They do not take care of their employees, even the ones who are exceptionally gifted and provide value to the company. They will short change you whenever they get the chance and will never value you as more than a commodity. I never felt challeged except when dealing with inept people who do not know what they want and need but want you to provide the world on a silver platter. until they get good management and competent leads on teams the company will continue to be a horrible place to work.

Pros

Very good employee perks and they also value their employees wich is very helpful. I have found that senior management was very educated and knowledgeable of how to run things.

Cons

the senior management is not that good as far as listening and understanding the employees concerns. They stood up for teh clients more instead of the workers
