Pros

-I've always felt extremely valued from upper management. I'm regularly thanked for my contributions and recognized for hard work. -My managers care about my career path and continued training. -I feel autonomous in my position but know I can go to my co-workers and manager for support. -The marketing department is truly a special group of people, a lot of us have worked together for many years. There is not a lot of turn over in our department. We always support one another with big milestones (birthdays, baby showers, wedding showers, etc) -There is flexibility with working hours and remotely. -There is plenty of work to go around and opportunity to be challenged and make a difference.

Cons

-As we are uniquely positioned in the market, I always found it difficult to gather and interpret data in order to make strategic marketing decisions on behalf of our customers. - At times, can feel disjointed from co-workers working hybrid.

Pros

Some of the key positives of my role include a strong work-life balance, which allows me to maintain productivity while also managing personal responsibilities effectively. I benefit from having a supportive and knowledgeable manager who provides guidance, shares expertise, and fosters a positive working environment. The company’s benefits package is another significant advantage, offering solid support and overall value. Additionally, I genuinely enjoy working with my team—we collaborate well, support one another, and contribute to a positive and engaging workplace culture.

Cons

I cannot think of anything that I would consider negative.

Pros

Strong legacy company with experienced employees and solid industry knowledge. Good exposure to category management, supply chain, and private brand operations. Some teams are collaborative and supportive, with opportunities to learn across functions. Stable customer base and broad product assortment. Flexible work environment depending on department and manager.

Cons

Company culture has declined compared to previous years. Frequent organizational changes and shifting priorities create uncertainty. Employee morale and engagement are not as strong as they once were. Communication and leadership alignment could be improved.
