Pros

Charitable giving Easy going A lot of mediocre performers so your job is never at risk Benefits are good - if you want kids. Single or non-family oriented employees don’t get much. Get half day Fridays

Cons

Executive team is really slow moving, no big ideas or inspiration to drive the business Upper management is narrow minded and slows the global business down Wrong people hired in critical roles just because they have been in the company Poor pay, 50th percentile benchmarking when competitors are at 75th D&I agenda purely gender based, no other diversity/inclusion targeted

Pros

The brands have lots of heritage and people are on the whole extremely friendly and welcoming. There are some good benefits such as a product allowance

Cons

The CEO runs the business in a very directive fashion, the leadership is parochial and out of touch. Senior leaders are fearful to challenge the CEO Business strategy overrules brand strategy Training and development is poor There is a lack of transparency of job roles and salary bands/grading creating unease within and between teams Middle managers are not empowered The business is highly political There are gaps of functional expertise There is zero diversity within the leadership function and little sense of inclusion. People do not feel listened to The company sweeps unprofessional behaviour amongst senior managers under the carpet
