Pros

The people that actually work hard every day trying to make a difference.

Cons

Upper management taking huge pay increases while rank and file gets tiny increases and constant threat of layoffs. Too many middling managers that don't seem to have an actual job function except taking credit for other people's hard work. Recent devaluation of job titles in an attempt to keep people from finding a job elsewhere has backfired and now the most talented people are leaving in droves for better opportunities. The good reviews that you're reading are usually from new people that have yet to fully grasp just how messed up this company really is. Expect to see a negative reviews from these same people in a couple of years once it all sinks in.

Pros

Great culture and truly amazing coworkers. Strong company history of success with iconic brands.

Cons

The company is going through a super tough season. Lots of jobs being moved offshore and it feels like nonstop restructuring / job loss. Job security feels very tenuous and morale is low.
