Pros

Lots of change and energy within the company. Great brands and a passion for growth.

Cons

Unclear and ever-changing objectives leave associates not know what to do in order to move ahead. The biggest watch out, associates who work on the most successful brands don't stay or are removed.

Pros

The culture! The people! True belief in the principles which underpin our company - all associates are given freedom to grow and develop and there are no barriers to move between functions or segments. If you are good, you're good!

Cons

Long procedure to get promoted internally - could be done on merit and past performance and not just on the fate of one day!

Business Outlook

Pros

Hard working team. Collaboration and quality work even when requested at the drop of a hat. Team is agile and lean doing the work of 2-3 associates. Top talent.

Cons

Long hours. Zero work life balance and not encouraged from senior leaders. Do as I say not as I do mentality. Leadership needs to live the principals and they do not. Financial systems are very outdated and if you want quality analysis you must invest in systems to foster growth. All data is kept in excel which is a nightmare.
