Pros

Not many. It's a paycheck. That is about it.

Cons

After forcing people to move to Chicago in order to keep their jobs, executive leaders decided to offshore several critical, non-manufacturing functions to Mexico. They are in the process of moving even more American jobs to Mexico, and are using AI to replace still OTHER job roles (such as consumer service). In a recent meeting, leaders talked about how we need to work harder to "maximize shareholder value," all while people are losing their very jobs for that "value to shareholders." It's disgusting and should be illegal. The constant chaos and change is exhausting. There is no care for employees, only dollars. There is no clear vision. The execs are making fear-based decisions, The HR team is unorganized and old fashioned (no clear career paths, promotions take literally YEARS to approve, all while we are told to move faster). Benefits are expensive. I could go on. And now there's a new CEO. Except he's been on the Board for years and hasn't done a thing to help when in that position . I doubt he'll bring jobs back to the States and calm the chaos.

Pros

Literally run from this sh*tshow

Cons

If you’ve seen the new “Must Be a Moen” campaign from Fortune Brands Innovations / Moen, you might think it’s about quality, innovation, or pride in craftsmanship. Internally, it feels more like a running joke to explain away dysfunction. Confusing org structures? Must be a Moen. Constant leadership changes? Must be a Moen. Roles that look nothing like what you were hired to do? Must be a Moen. The gap between external branding and internal reality is… impressive. Strategy is talked about a lot, but execution devolves into hyper-tactical, low-value work with little alignment or clear ownership. Priorities shift frequently, often driven by whoever has the loudest voice in the room that week. Cross-functional collaboration is more theoretical than real—teams operate in silos, and decision-making lacks transparency. Instead of empowering experienced hires, there’s a tendency toward over-management and unnecessary process, slowing down even basic progress. To be fair, there are smart, hardworking people here—but many are stuck navigating a system that makes it difficult to do meaningful, impactful work. If you’re looking for a place where branding and reality align, this may not be it. But if you ever find yourself wondering “how did things get this way?”… well, I guess the answer is: must be a Moen.
