Pros

- Iconic brands in the US and Canada - Corporate office is beautiful and in an ideal downtown location - Good benefits

Cons

- Cultural struggles and language barriers with parent company (K+S) in Germany make it difficult to get work done in an efficient manner - Company is going through a lot of self-inflicted change with very poor change management practices and communications - Branded products/business are treated as second tier within the parent company's business portfolio which is more focused on commodities - Turnover beginning to increase across key functions - K+S senior leadership is weak and lacks the experience to run a global company

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We value your point of view and agree that there is more work to do to position the company for future growth. Transformation is never easy – especially on a global scale – but change is necessary to help ensure the success of the company and our team members for years to come. In the company’s 170-year history, Morton had to overcome many challenges to adapt to the changing needs of customers, consumers, employees and other key stakeholders. This time is no different. And we want to evolve together with the help of our team members. That’s why we’ve formed cross-functional teams around the world to help shape our company and our culture in the best way possible. This takes significant effort and an openness to change at all levels of the organization. We believe we have the right ingredients. We’re excited about the potential and appreciate all the team members across all parts of the organization working together to create a brighter future.
