Pros

Work life balance. You can pretty much come and go as you please as long as your “work gets done”

Cons

Many consumers don’t want and don’t trust big brands, unfortunately thats mostly all this company has....and the emerging brands in the industry just don’t fit the margin profile to work for big food companies

Pros

Great culture and truly amazing coworkers. Strong company history of success with iconic brands.

Cons

The company is going through a super tough season. Lots of jobs being moved offshore and it feels like nonstop restructuring / job loss. Job security feels very tenuous and morale is low.
