Pros

Purpose to help independent retail is motivating

Cons

Doesn't understand that it is a wholesaler not a retailer - wastes resources on plannograms and strategies for a retail network that doesn't use it. Part of the business is progressive and inclusive - part is like a 70's comedy with outdated management practices, rife incompetency and lack of accountablity.

Pros

A great purpose driven company. I work with great people that care about what they do and build strong relationships both internal and external. A flexibile work environment where possible.

Cons

Complexity and duplication exist in this organisation. Simplification and alignment of structure and process will help to alleviate but some foundational alignment needs to occur first.
