Pros

Pay was above average, and benefits were nice. The people I worked with were some of the best, and still keep in contact to this day. You work with so many different companies from the food industry to the cosmetic industry that it's a great resume builder.

Cons

MANAGEMENT! This place is definitely a flows down hill kind of place, and the management is definitely the biggest fault in not seeing things executed properly. People were leaving left & right for not being treated fairly, then bribing people who stayed & lacked skills the management positions, which just grew into a bigger mess. Their policy is "freedom to sell" which concept is great except it really was taken advantage of by the sales team & responsibilities pushed on the wrong people. Sales is held up so high that they forget the other departments & things don't run properly when all wheels aren't well oiled.

Pros

Unlimited vacation is a perk.

Cons

The company has serious cultural and leadership issues, particularly around accountability for inappropriate conduct. There have been significant concerns regarding a senior global employee’s behavior, including inappropriate sexual relationships with employees across multiple countries and concerns about misuse of position, influence, and company resources to support his behavior. The fact that these concerns were reportedly allowed to continue raises serious questions about the company’s commitment to "safety". Reporting concerns to HR was not viewed as an effective solution. A workplace cannot maintain trust when employees believe power and position can shield predatory behavior. Employees should also be aware that compensation expectations may not align with reality. Bonuses that employees work toward throughout the year will not be paid out as expected, and communication around these decisions has been unclear and last minute. Overall, leadership has appeared disorganized, unqualified, inconsistent, and lacking direction.
