Pros

Leadership has a drive to grow the organization on a global scale with a people mindset. There are many opportunities to make an impact and define the standard process in your area of the organization. The global exposure is great and provides challenges that need creative and thoughtful solutions.

Cons

Working in a global setting can be challenging to come up with the right solution and there are many leaders that want to have their input included in the solution. There are some teams that are working in silos but there are efforts to breakdown these walls.

Pros

Working at Greif has been an incredibly rewarding journey that has enriched both my personal and professional life. From the moment I joined the team, I was welcomed with open arms and given opportunities to grow and excel in my role. One of the things that truly sets Greif apart is its commitment to fostering a supportive and inclusive work environment. As a proud LGBTQ+ member this is especially important to me. Every day, I am surrounded by colleagues who are not only passionate about what they do but also genuinely care about each other's success. Whether it's through our sustainable packaging solutions or our community outreach initiatives, Greif consistently demonstrates its commitment to making a difference.

Cons

While Greif does an excellent job of recognising employee contributions, there could be even more opportunities for acknowledging achievements and milestones, which would further boost morale and motivation. I am pleased to say this is a project currently underway to look at Milestones and Personal Life Moments.
