Pros

- Smart people - Opportunities to move around and learn new skills - Work life balance (for the most part, depends on your manager)

Cons

- Once you're inside the organization they don't reward you will pay increases - Company is going through what seems to be continual layoffs - Very little growth for their brands - Leadership is pretty old school and it continues to be rewarded which drives company performance even more into the ground.

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.
