Pros

Good company vision. Great campus

Cons

If you have a spouse or a family member that requires special medical need or attention, I'd strongly recommend you to look elsewhere. Ever since UL changed coverage provider from UHC to Cigna, the healthcare coverage has been awful. I'm spending inordinate amount of time dealing with medical claims denials of my family member for basic medical needs. It's stressful enough being a caretaker for your loved ones but to be caught between the two conglomerates puts a whole new meaning to being "squeezed out." I'm sure UL is saving lots of money from switching UHC to Cigna, but this isn't coming from reducing health care costs or signing a better deal. These savings are directly paid for by the UL employees and families who are being denied essential medical coverage and are resorting to paying out of pocket.

Pros

Working at Unilever in Raeford offers strong overall benefits, including good pay for the area, solid health insurance, retirement options, and additional perks like tuition assistance and employee discounts. The company provides a stable work environment as a large global organization, with opportunities for career growth and skill development in a modern, well-maintained facility. Employees often highlight the team-oriented culture, supportive coworkers, and clean, safety-focused workplace. Overall, it’s considered a reliable employer with good work-life balance and long-term career potential.

Cons

Working there can involve long hours and rotating shifts, including nights and weekends, which can make work-life balance harder depending on your role. The job can also be physically demanding, especially in production or warehouse positions, requiring standing for long periods and repetitive tasks. Because it’s a large corporation, there can be strict policies, less flexibility, and slower decision-making. Additionally, while growth opportunities exist, advancement can sometimes feel competitive or slow without the right connections or timing.
