No respect or care for the R&D team

Pros

Good people around you to work with the general team is ok to work with.

Cons

The Supply chain and people at the top have no regard or appreciation for the research team. The pay that they give to the R&D across the technology team and across the fragrance team is a disgrace when compared in-line with their competitor companies. No career progression whatsoever.

Pros

Nice restaurant Some really good products

Cons

Hostile workplace environment Managers manage upwards, they don’t manage or protect their teams Toxic culture where if you complain, nothing gets done. However if an external consultant complains then you’re hung out to dry Managers don’t have your back unless they’re using it for target practice The use of consultants is rife which is costing millions and alienating the permanent employees A nasty place to work

We are sorry to read that this particular colleague is unhappy about their experience at PZC. We will not comment on the specific HR circumstances that led to the investigation. We have invested hugely in our workplace culture and ensuring that our BEST values (Bold, Energetic, Striving and Together) are a genuine reflection of what it means to work at PZ Cussons, and we seek regular feedback from everyone working for us about employee engagement and importantly, we act on it. . Across IT we have seen significantly high and consistent engagement scores over the past 3 years. Our business turnaround has included some ambitious technology objectives to ensure we have the solid foundations in place globally to excel our business to the next level, we have achieved what we set out to do. The next phase of this journey is being created currently and we are hugely excited about this and welcome great people from all backgrounds to join us.

Pros

I found it positively awful! It was without a doubt the worst company I have worked for.

Cons

Interviewers not truthful about the position of the company in the interview. As a result, I left a very successful company for a very unsuccessful company, contrary to the position sold in the interview. Proved very costly to me! Say right thing to the group behave opposite at individual level! Poorly organised! Company run on passive aggression! Some not very pleasant people! If it keeps you happy to have gifts dropped on your desk such as a box of 4 mini coloured pencils and a bottle of their product every now and again but for-go annual pay adjustments and bonuses then this is the place for you! Put in position between rock and a hard place while trying to do what employed to do but organisation set up puts up barriers and left to face the music as a result of their preventative actions!
