Do not join this company - Chicago candidates beware!
Pros
The people who work here (before they leave anyway)
Cons
Executive leadership is completely disconnected from the rest of the company. Once great 100 year old brands being ruined by an incompetent exec suite. In the span of a 30 minute phone call, Nick Fink put an expiration date on the entire company by forcing all employees to relocate to Chicago without any increase of compensation. People are leaving in droves without notice, and morale is at rock bottom. It's clear decisions are underpinned by cookie cutter McKinsey consulting advice without understanding what keeps this company moving forward. It's hard to even complete simple tasks without knowing who is left or who owns what job responsibilities anymore. It's clear decisions are only made to land the quarterly earnings targets, and will stop at nothing to hit the EPS guidance. I've seen new hires onboard during this "transition" and have seen the hope quickly leave their eyes once they get a clue. With such reckless decisions, I can only assume major selloffs are soon to come. Between the poor decisions, the mass exodus of talent, and tariffs, this company will be a MBA case study by 2030 on how to sink a profitable company.
