Pros

Majority of co-workers and NA colleagues are good people and professionals to work with. Good investments in NA, but poor planning and execution of project scope and funding at upper levels.

Cons

Last few years NA upper management totally mismanaged the business causing a lot of corporate managers to quit. No plan to develop talent from within and opportunities are filled with German ex-pats or outside hires.

Great Salary / Poor Work Environment

Pros

Arizona! Great People at the management level and below, unless they have all fled… which many have. Wonderful salary for Arizona and ability iconic brands.

Cons

Micro-management from from German HQ. Poor decision making creates excess workload. Mindless reporting. Do not value individual thinking or creativity - they value people who agree with them and do as they say without making waves. Elitist attitude regarding what the American consumer and American employee "should" like and accept.

Pros

I can't think of any besides free laundry detergent and a convenient office location.

Cons

Zero leadership, long hours, crappy benefits, tons of politics, no customer focus, only worried about making a number.
