Pros

I like the fact that the company is addressing key competitive factors and working hard to overcome the legacy and mentality of an association. The consumer-centered focus is also important in order to clearly differentiate our product benefits/innovation/value proposition

Cons

-Managers lack the skills and leadership to motivate people; yet are rewarded in a vacuum -New managers who have been hired with "badge" value are ineffective when it comes down to translating their experience to MC business -Not a ton of opportunity to get promoted due to heavy matrix

Pros

Great people to work with at the middle management & lower level. People generally excited to go to work in most departments

Cons

"Queen Bee" is a typical example of mobbing and playing political games in the work place, everyone fears for their job in that department. Very unhealthy work place to be in.

Pros

salary is very competitive and innovation of products really good. CEO is inspiring. There are some incredibly smart leaders within the organization. Good at moving people from one function to another

Cons

Grp Heads can behave like demi-gods with sense of self entitlement; Purchase culture is stifling, too stiff and unwelcoming. Those who get ahead tend to do so based on who they know. Always seem to have to do more with less
