Pros

Work/Life balance is a focus. The benefits are best in class. Pay is competitive. You get a chance to work with great people.

Cons

Lack of innovation in how processes are done. Promotions sometimes based solely on time in job and not on performance. A lot of the managers are micro-managers and do not give their direct reports enough autonomy.

Pros

Great culture and truly amazing coworkers. Strong company history of success with iconic brands.

Cons

The company is going through a super tough season. Lots of jobs being moved offshore and it feels like nonstop restructuring / job loss. Job security feels very tenuous and morale is low.
