Rampant and Poor Mismanagement

Pros

They have good benefits and you start with 3 weeks vacation

Cons

Condescending and poor management seems to thrive at the company. HR is exactly what everyone says it is; HR is there to protect the company not the employee. My manager had over 15 people leave within 2 years under his lack of leadership with complaints to HR and he still has a job. Nepotism also is present where only select people will succeed. HR is also terrible and does not care about the lower level employee despite the anti retaliation and harassment policies. The company’s goal is to make any product they get cheaper and hope the consumer doesn’t notice the difference. There are no new innovative products, just watered down products from companies they have bought. Also the blatant discrimination against the covid unvaccinated was driven by their failed glaxo smith deal which eventually was removed. People are promoted based off of their physical characteristics not the merits of their work.
