Pros

Development opportunities, both personal and professional, are very good Solid work experience translates into strong resume, recognized globally Healthy competitive spirit within organization equates to high company performance Most employees live the (trite but true) mantra of "work hard, play hard"

Cons

For those looking for intrinsic reward, selling consumer goods can sometimes leave a void Like any large corporation, politics often plays a role when it comes to advancement (less so, though, as the years have gone by) Work-life balance can be a struggle to achieve

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.
