Pros

-Great "team" atmosphere at our corporate office. -Senior management is very visible around the campus -Low level of micro management -diverse workforce, and programs promoting diversity -Employee cafeteria services are VERY good! We are a food company after all - Free coffee bars are located in multiple locations around the corporate campus, a refill is never more than a few steps away!

Cons

-Benefits are very bare-bones and minimal. -Disorganized project management can cause complications when multiple teams are working together with no clear leadership. -Inexperienced analysts can cause problems when extreme accuracy is needed. -Holiday ordering and shipping rush can be very overwhelming within the understaffed supply chain department.

Pros

The pay is decent & it's a fairly stable job in the tough economy.

Cons

The long hours & the disrespect from upper management. Store Managers work very hard & we are treated like we are kids. They expect us to work way too many hours & most of their expectations are unachievable

Pros

For a starter position within an enterprise, this place is good because even if you screw up, you wont get fired. But thats all this place is good for is to get your feet wet and get some experience.

Cons

Almost everything else that you can think of. Retirement plan is atrocious, training is non-existent, knowledge experts that don't know anything are abundant, office politics is like watching TV...you'd only think stuff like that can happen in TV, antiquated management, antiquated equipment, trust me, this is not a place you really want to work if you can avoid it.
