Definitely a Struggle

Pros

There are some really great/kind people. Benefits are fairly good (no premium for insurances, stipends, etc.).

Cons

Pay would be decent (if I did the job I actually signed up for). Promotions and ratings are based off of favoritism. Lack of clarity on responsibilities and accountability so the blame game is very common. Lack of collaboration efforts so feedback is never really heard and implemented. Constant shifting priorities, making it difficult to focus and execute effectively. Lots of burnout across teams due to poor leadership, crazy workloads, and lack of support. A lot of encouragement for leaders to say yes to look good to just dump work on their reports.

Pros

Business is strong, though not growing as much as prior years; consumers love the products (tastes great and really works!); majority of team works very hard

Cons

The most toxic workplace, especially in marketing. Must be a favorite / suck up to be promoted - those are the people that are given high visibility projects and thus have the opportunity to succeed while those not part of the clique but equally high performing/hard working are not given the same opportunities; the levels and titles are off. People are very unhappy due to poor management; high attrition overall which leads to overwork by people that are left; open jobs are mostly due to people that have left the company.

"Disrupting Wellness" - yes, employees'!

Pros

The product is amazing The core employees work really hard and have an amazing brand to promote The brand will be around for a good long while

Cons

The "CEO" (more like a general manager) has no VISION and is therefore just trying to shoehorn the brand into the Unilever machine. He makes sure mistakes are blamed on others even if caused by his inability to make a decision. He believes whatever story he decides to tell whether grounded in reality or not. He takes it personally when he is fact-checked. Just another average white guy failing upwards. His LinkedIn tagline says "disrupting wellness" and it's not wrong - employees are burnt out and sick. If you consume too much of the product your wellness WILL be disrupted! The company attracts overachievers and works them to the quick with minimal resources despite incredibly healthy margins. This was once a special place to work but now the only thing retaining the employees is the great product. I'm sure Unilever will eff that up too in their never-ending quest to maximize shareholders' value. Poor leadership/management Toxic work environment Lack of strategy Everyone is overworked and understaffed Leadership doesn’t listen to feedback + employee’s opinions aren’t valued Unclear communication and lots of gaslighting from leadership If you interview here ask about their attrition rate
