Pros

You will get great exposure and classic training in marketing.

Cons

The company has lost the friendly atmosphere it once had. Don't join if you want work life balance. Be prepared for politics and accommodating big egos. You may well have to develop yourself. A young company. If you do not progress up the hierarchy you will not be there for long.

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

Good perks, shop, in office dental and private GP

Cons

Poor management, awful treatment to 'low' level staff. Only look after themselves, and the general company attitude has change dramatically over the last few year and is only getting worse. Poor pay well below the market average.
