      Pros

      The benefits and perks are really a lot of fun at this super-premium, family owned and brand-centric firm. Paid tuition, MBA programs, allowance for product purchase, fun events, global travel. The culture can be really good, but see the cons below.

      Cons

      The firm has become super "corporate" in its structure - positions are tiered by grade or level and therefore everything is related to that grade: benefits, product allowance, vacation, etc. It's very marketing based, so the marketing team are the drivers. If you're in marketing, this is the place for you.

          Pros

          It was near where I lived .It has service recognition benefits and private health care. They supply you with good quality work clothes.

          Cons

          No real worth seen in workers by management team A sad reflection on place that was once known in the area as good family run employer .Not a happy place.

                Pros

                I know I can make a difference. The company has retained an entrepreneurial angle and the subject matter keeps it fun.

                Cons

                As a private company I know I can never have any skin in the game. The opportunity to build options elsewhere may eventually be more valuable than the benefit of a family business

                    Pros

                    The company provides good benefits and fun activities through out the year. work and life balance is good (depends on your role and manager).

                    Cons

                    There is so much politics at this place. They talk about equal opportunity and diversity all the time but it's all just talk. you will only have opportunity to grow if you are part of the inner circle. hard work and going above and beyond is not recognized. most people don't feel save to speak up about these issues and when someone does they either get a push back or nothing gets done because people who discriminate are part of that inner circle.

                      Team relationships are very strong, uplifting, and inclusive. Continuing Education is advocated and provided. The benefits are fantastic.

                      Cons

                      The brands have the potential to be outstanding but are often sabotaged by upper management decisions. The HR Department.

                      Is there an ‘active job seeker’ icon for recruiters on LinkedIn the way there is an ‘actively recruiting’ icon for job seekers?

                      Senior Resource Manager

                      Last Thursday and Friday I interviewed with 2 hiring managers for 2 different companies. Both of them said they’d like me to progress to the next interview and the recruiter would reach out. One company said they wanted a offer out this month so it would be a quick process. I sent thank you emails and references. I haven’t heard from either recruiter. I had the recruiter screening and hiring manager interview just days apart, I thought I’d hear back by now. Thoughts?!
