How not to run a FMCG Pet Care Business

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business outlook

Pros

Some colleagues who are working their hardest trying to save a business

Cons

Short term mentality of the business leaders means that the Pet Care business will not succeed as there is no vision or investment for the future. The savage cost and head cutting has lead to the loss of some very experienced middle managers who knew how to run this business. While the GM's departure was non regretted its too little too late. The shared resources at Manchester means no resources and none with the intelligence to understand Pet Care. HR is a function to support the company's maverick ways not to support employees.

Expect Decline in UK Petcare

CEO approval

Business outlook

Pros

Financially strong as an overall group, operating across a diverse range of categories. Although this does lead to a general reality of 'jack of all trades, master of none'. Good CS team in Manchester office. Staff discount.

Cons

Enquired as to the GP of my accounts, and the answer was "we don't see the GP", only for this to be shown on-screen seconds later. A lot of confusion and misunderstanding around pricing, marketing, promotional strategy, P&Ls and OGSM. No decent overall strategic direction or brand investment versus the competition. Morbidly obese layer of commercially incompetent middle management, versus complete lack of sales support staff across finance and category management.
