Edgewell Personal Care reviews

Cons of a larger company, such as slow to market, unambitious and unengaged colleagues, lack of accountability, and generally speakinng: terrible leadership from upper management (director-level and up is either nonexistent or way too involved in micromanaging details).

Absentee executive team in CT. C-suite executives have minimal to no interaction with staff and are essentially the old division management from when the company was part of Energizer. Lots of talk about being a "challenger" company but no follow through on shifting resources to drive growth. Stock price is down approximately 10-15% since the spin off of the battery group. Current approach seems to be profit delivery via risk avoidance versus growth lead profit delivery. IT systems are a mess and non-standardized so working collaboratively is a challenge. Cost cutting and lack of real investment hamstrings employee productivity. Finish the SAP project for all locations. Insure that help desk colleagues know the patchwork of systems and can effectively troubleshoot. Still a silo based environment and individuals can carve out fiefdoms so as to ignore corporate or brand strategy. Morale in HQ location is strange as people are just waiting to hear who is buying the organization. Plenty of parking free at 9:00am and the parking lot empties at 4:45 daily. Culture has deteriorated substantially in the last 4 years.
