Pros

401k is better than any other company. Pay is best in the area.

Cons

No longer has good 401k options, was making 20% return now can only make 4% return due company changing what options we could pick. Healthcare cost has risen 500%, PPO won't cover until you are out of pocket $4,000 then cover 80/20 which puts you further in the hole if you are hourly (salary has bonuses that cover that cost). If you are hourly it is very difficult to move into salary due to management assigning labels how employees are. (You need to be the right skin color to move up quickly due to affermitive action) HR sets quotas on what skin color to hire.

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
