Pros

* There are some really skilled people within the factory, which make their manufacturing site really best in class * They promoted womens rights, LGBTQIA+, and many amazing events throughout the year by bringing in external speakers. * They offered remote first during easter and summer holidays * They provide great products to our beloved furry friends

Cons

* Management team are really inexperienced & lack any empathy * Majority of colleagues spent time crying from how they were treated, including myself * Unrealistic expectations * If you were there from the beginning you're okay, but any new people (who have LOTS of experience are treated unfairly * Heavily promote from within, which you would think is a great thing but at Butternut it promotes backstabbing and unsupporting behavior.
