Pernod Ricard is a great company to work for.

Pros

The brands and people at Pernod Ricard are second to none. The teamwork and bonds developed are fantastic and will last a lifetime. The pay, benefits, and perks are equal or better than beverage alcohol companies.

Cons

The company is heavily driven by results on a monthly and quarterly view. There is no patience and no long term vision to grow brands. This mentality creates many fire drills, duplication of efforts, and necessary work. The pace and pressure to work non stop is different from other beverage alcohol companies.

Pros

-great perks like company functions, product allotments, clothing allowances, the list goes on -superb salary and benefits -very neat product field with excellent profit margins -"big fish" company willing to invest capital in training and improving facilities -global presence means a great chance to develop relationships across national boundaries -many long-tenured employees that are very loyal and have helped make the company grow

Cons

-dearth of any bourbons in the product catalogue is worrisome given current consumer trends -concerned about using Absolut as a business cornerstone given the craft vodka explosion -LOTS of bureaucracy at times regarding decisions, efforts being made to improve but there's a lot of "dead wood" among support functions that can bog down decisions and innovation -seems to be something of a "Euro" bias in terms of personnel who are viewed as getting on the fast-track -shockingly well-privelaged hourly workforce that seems utterly convinced that upper management is "out to get them", many seem to believe that advanced age or poor training is the reason they get left behind rather than poor performance or poor attitude, can be hard to keep your leaders motivated in the face of a few bad apples -relatively small manufacturing footprint in the U.S.

Most Satisfying Job I've Ever Had

Pros

Fun and energetic, has become more relaxed over the years in terms of culture. Good compensation, great perks like product allowance, bar nights and the week between Christmas and New Years off. There are lots of wonderful people that work here.

Cons

Poor work-life balance, too much expectation towards continuing to work even after you've left the office. Limited flexibility in regards to working from home. Diversity is really only found at the mid to lower levels.
