Pros

co workers are the best part of this company. You develop a special bond with people who are enduring the same type of abuse from this employer. expect to never see your family, there is no work life balance.

Cons

Overtime is posted at the last min. you have no way to have a life outside this job. expect to work 72 hours + a week. management wont work overtime but the will force you to every week a minimum of 60 hours. Independence location is planning on going on strike. That's how bad it is.

Pros

Great people, strong brands, and a lot of ownership. I’ve had opportunities to manage large spend portfolios, lead cross-functional projects, and work with teams across Supply Chain, Finance, Quality, and R&D. The company invests in development and provides exposure to senior leadership that can help accelerate your career.

Cons

Performance and rewards don’t always feel aligned. High performers can sometimes feel underappreciated, and career advancement can be slower than expected due to organizational complexity and internal politics. Decision-making can also take longer than it should because of the number of stakeholders involved.
