Pros
Great place to start a career. Projects are interesting and there are a lot of good folks who work for the company. Lots of career opportunities abound throughout the divisions and the people are very dedicated to their work. Solid brands and a lot of great people who believe in these brands. Employees receive free beverages and/or snacks at their workplace, which is a nice yet inexpensive perk. Local management is very receptive to employee input and really wants to try to make a difference. Senior leadership has improved many things in the past few years that I have been here.
Cons
Benefits have gone downhill in the past few years are more costs are passed onto employees. Concerned that pension may not be around much longer. Work-life balance is frequently discussed but rarely backed up by management. Internal corporate communication is good but we could use more that flows to all levels of the company. Senior leadership should be more visible to the "rank and file" folks within the company. SAP is an interesting system. Promotions are done in a manner that is a mystery to many employees along with employee rankings and reviews each year - have yet to figure this out.
