Pros

Good benefit and many nice people to work with

Cons

Salary is on the low range Every 2/3 year they do another reorg. They recently hired a bunch =of VP’s from the West Coast that are disrupting the company ( good and bad) but usually lay off managers and lower people to compensate. It’s also a VERY corporate company. They are BIG on diversity but they don’t walk the line. You constantly have to kiss peoples butt to get “visibility”.

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.
