Stay Away - Marketing Hain Celestial Employee Review

C Suite are all buddies with conventional CPG backgrounds, with no understanding or respect for natural, health-minded Hain consumers. CCO hellbent on micromanaging not just his own function (hence why turnover is so high on the sales team as people get fed up with him), but operations, finance, marketing, and R&D functions as well. Because of his close friendship with CEO, very few people challenge him, so he gets away with it. R&D leadership tasked with value engineering existing products, as opposed to focusing on new innovations. Regularly brings in consultants who are old friends to run innovation and design-to-value “workshops” which yield few tangible results and seems to work in a complete silo from marketing. The way investments are prioritized is purely self-serving to the C Suite. In my relatively short tenure, SLT members hired and fired at least half a dozen different consulting agencies to do about the same jobs. No investment made in retaining talent. Nonexistent employee benefits programs, and 401k is an absolute joke. Exceptionally talented people get overlooked for promotions in favor of those who have cozied up to CCO. Shows you just how little SLT cares about retaining and nurturing talent.
