Pros

None that are noteworthy after FB bought out our local company.

Cons

You couldn't find a more impersonal company to work for. The only thing they care about is the bottom line and becoming "a 5 billion dollar company". Once Fortune Brands bought out our local company, things went south in a quick hurry. After the acquisition we were told by Fortune Brands exec "we aren't in the business of changing and getting in the way of really successful companies". But just after a few months of them being in charge, EVERYTHING changed and nearly all of it toward the negative as far as employee retention goes. What used to be by far the best place in Brookings to work is sadly not even close to that.

Pros

I have worked a lot of places that talk about their culture and values, only to join the organization and find that it is not true. Fortune Brands believes in and supports everything you are sold during the interview proces. The work is intriguing with plenty of training and support from management and the organization as a whole. The company also holds true to it's promise of work/life balance.

Cons

After 2 months with the company I have not found any cons.
