      Award winning "TALK", but little evidence at grassroots of the "WALK" - First Line Management Unilever Employee Review

      Pros

      History of world changing approach to Manufacturing, with workers at the heart of what they do; awards for Sustainability; awards for producing industry-envied Leaders; great products; some great people

      Cons

      Poor carry-through of Company Values by some; documentation and processes sufficient to comply with ISO systems, but fall very short of WCM standards - in some cases, putting employees at risk of harm; bullying of subordinates not uncommon amongst "old style" managers; KPIs manipulated for personal or site advantage; CI initiatives limited to Manufacturing, with over reliance on TPM and OEE as improvement tools, to the exclusion of all other methods.

      Pros

      Love the people, great mentors, wonderful team members. Very welcoming office and great relationships. I love coming to work!

      Cons

      Under resourced and underpaid for the skills I bring to the table, which contributes to retention issues

      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.
