Pros

High level of ownership and impact - Direct responsibility for a large portfolio and a full P&L allows you to influence financial performance in meaningful ways. - Opportunities to build strategies that directly affect revenue, margins and market share. Strong relationship-building experience - Working with diverse supplier partners deepens your expertise in negotiation, collaboration, conflict resolution and expectation management. Enhanced strategic thinking - Balancing customer needs, supplier objectives, and internal financial goals develops strong strategic planning and analytical capabilities. - Helps shape a "big picture" mindset about brand performance in a competitive market. Fast skill development - Managing 100+ suppliers accelerates your ability to multitask, prioritize, and solve problems quickly. - Exposure to pricing, forecasting, logistics, sales, and marketing sharpens cross-functional skills rapidly.

Cons

Frequent conflicts in priorities - Suppliers, customers, and internal stakeholders may have competing needs. - Balancing financial targets with service expectations can create pressure and occasional friction. Limited time for deep strategic work - Fast pace and high volume of tasks can force you into reactive mode rather than long-term planning. - Administrative or urgent requests can dominate your day. Supplier relationship challenges - With 100+ suppliers, not all relationships can receive the same level of attention. - High expectations from supplies for visibility, performance, and reporting can be difficult to meet consistently. High workload and stress - Managing over 100 suppliers can be overwhelming and requires near-constant prioritization. - Expectations for quick turnaround can lead to long hours and burnout.

Pros

Fun work environment, embraces the chaos and have fun with it. Company also often have events that we can attend outside of work. Good work and life balances, you are not expected to work consistent OT. Most managers are understandable if you need to work an extra day from home because you need to take care of your family. A ton of very tenured individuals who aren't shy to share their knowledge with you. People care and I'd say majority of everybody are passionate with what they do. They try to make the best business decisions.

Cons

You can very clearly feel a lower morale in the office this year. New Lenexa office but there are all kinds of problems with this building.
