Pros

Pay is competitive, Sales team smart, although many of them lack any real experience. The office has great lighting and is very modern and you can buy the companies’ products in the lobby store...although they are all marked up so the company can profit from it’s employees.

Cons

Really, just about everything else are cons. Brands are relics that are all slowly dying due to lack of innovation and lack of support. Sales team that remains has little to no experience in the industry, experience is being laid off or quitting due to the toxic work environment. They have put a retail associate in charge of an entire channel of sales...not sure who thought that was a good idea. Senior management can’t see the forest through the trees and have one direction that is a selfish direction aimed at their own bonus payout at the expense of the company, the employees and the brands. If any of the shareholders really knew the long term impact of the decisions being made right now I know they would not keep the CSO in place. His decisions are costing the company sales and driving very good people to leave very quickly leaving management to hire friends, good old boys and retreads from other failing businesses. If you haven’t been yelled at by the CSO you haven’t worked at Hain...it is a daily occurrence and the comical in-house communication videos that are delivered via email rather than having the guts to talk to the team live are a testament for the type of people senior leadership really are.

Pros

Excellent salary, experienced, smart and engaged co-workers and cross functional teams.

Cons

The new sales leadership team is toxic and does not know how to manage or lead people. Every job has pressure and with more responsibility comes more accountability; however, the new sales leadership and specifically the CSO are promoting an environment that will not allow you to be successful no matter how hard you work. The constant verbal "beat downs" and "I will tell you what to do" attitude does not allow for any other leader in the organization to offer an opinion or strategy that differs from the narcissistic CSO. You may be paid well and might be be swayed by financial promises but you can not be successful in this environment and will soon find yourself frustrated and looking for a new job.
