Pros

Smart young people, like shiny pennies in the sun; Great facilities and benefits, goal oriented long term project targets, some of the nicest people I have ever worked with. Relative stability as a true giant of commerce. Few, if any, fist pounders

Cons

Exists as a communist state stifling most creativity. There were meetings to the 3rd power of pi focused on triviality. As with most communist regimes, party members; sorry, employees, worry about the limited chance to move up the food chain but find it better to just be quiet. Zero risk takers with zero personalities. Lunch should not be the highlight of your work day.

Pros

Working with brands you grew up with is really exciting! The people I have met have all been amazing as well!

Cons

Everyone I have talked to are overworked and feel underpaid and despite the amount of work they do, there is no recognition or appreciation. Upper management is a mess and UL is constantly restructuring, often going from new BACK to the old structure while simultaneously letting people go leaving more people overworked. While most people are amazing, there are a few micromanagers where expectations are unknown. In addition, the lack of communication is awful. Often, I hear about certain cuts through the vine rather than directly from the people involved
