A resume bullet point that's actually an intellectual vacuum
Pros
Hain will provide you the exposure to a publicly owned, quarterly driven, company. You will have the opportunity to touch upon multiple information systems. The benefits (health insurance, PTO) are fair.
Cons
Hain's culture lends itself to pushing away good talent. A common 'motto' there is that good people will leave once they realize they're unable to improve anything. However, Hain management does not seem to recognize this issue, as they continue to seek talent from top companies and/or ivy league schools. Unfortunately, the culture is such that it is nearly impossible to impact change, or to even have a conversation on foundation building. The sole focus is the end of the current quarter. Their systems are generally disconnected. The ERP system is several decades out of date (green screen), the MRP system is developed in house, and all systems are underutilized. For every competent manager, there are three that owe their position to nepotism. There is no motivation to make employees look to leave the company than to promote others, who are widely known as being incompetent, to pay them less than they are worth, and to remove any type of bonuses. Hain cancelled their holiday bonus several years in a row, with the scapegoats being totally unrelated issues.
