Pros

Industry leader. Nice physical workspaces in divisional HQ.

Cons

Avery Dennison is obsessed with social justice. If you are female or a minority, you will be constantly reminded that you cannot compete on a level playing field. If you are male or white, you'd best keep your head down. The quickest way to end your career here is to disagree with the narrative. The amount of time spent talking and talking about racial and gender inequality is unbelievable. If we spent half of that time working to serve our customers better, perhaps our financial performance would be stronger. The great majority of women and minorities don't like what is happening either. When a female of minority gets a promotion, instead of feeling pride, we wonder if we truly earned it, or if we were advanced for a reason other than our ability. The affinity groups have carte blanche to accuse anyone of anything with no due process. I'm saddened by how we are killing what was once a great culture.

Pros

Robust safety culture and a genuine compassion to expand skill sets. BUT If i ever had a family emergency pop up. Avery was understanding a flexible. It didnt always mean that it was without consequence but Avery really knows that we are working to take care of those we love and sometimes emergencies and crap happen and that kind of stuff needs to be handled.

Cons

Its a manual labor job and that can wear on you and the rotating dupont can be rough on a lot of people.
