Pros

There really are no pros

Cons

Autocratic management team, CEO and CFO who have no experience running and managing a company, CTO who has no clear technology point of view and the CMO is the definition of a bully. The overall leadership team treats people with such disrespect that this is not a place to build or grow a career. It's an exhausting place to work. There is no flexibility, the location is not good and you are required to work in Addison daily. The leadership wants you to believe that they are a start-up in the midst of a reinvention. It's a dated company that is trying to revive itself into a relevant company. You will not build skills, you will not receive any training, you will not have a career path. What you will be is exhausted from working ridiculous hours, and will get tired of the daily battles with leadership to make decisions within your function. There is only one person that makes decisions at PC and it's not the people doing the work. The benefits are extremely expensive and very mediocre.

Pampered Chef Response
8y
While we are focused on improving in many areas of the business, we do recognize that Pampered Chef isn’t for everyone. We are looking for individuals who are delivering great results, are passionate about what they do, and are eager to take on new challenges to learn and develop. We’re focused on coworker development and creating a career path for our coworkers at Pampered Chef; in 2017 the number of coworkers that were promoted or took on a new role exceeded our internal targets. We’re working with our people leaders to give them the tools to continue to grow and develop our coworkers. And as we see in our engagement survey, most coworkers are excited by our new direction and we are seeing great results in the business. We are focused on continually living our core values of respect and authenticity, and we are continually working to empower coworkers more and more. The impact we have on the lives of our consultants and customers is meaningful. We are truly enriching lives, one meal and one memory at a time.

Pros

The new leadership team is very focused on trying new things and raising the bar and not everybody is rising to the challenge, but they are respectful and kind and incredibly smart leaders to work for. I have good work life balance, and when I need flexibility I can have that for myself. Everybody is really kind to one another and genuinely likes working with one another. The leaders are open and honest and tell you like it is.

Cons

There seems to be two sets of people working at the company right now, so you kind of have to weed out the people who are always so toxic and focus on the people who are excited to be a part of a company that is changing and trying to improve.
