Pros

My position paid very well. It is in a great location for commuters, able to walk from Union, Rock, Ogilvy, and Orange Line.

Cons

I felt like there was nowhere to grow because there was no performance reviews. I never knew how I was performing. At one point I got a raise and was not told why so I assumed I was doing well. I then heard through the grape vine that my manager told our new VP that I wasn't cutting it. I found this VERY odd since I had never been informed this and I had received a raise. Had my manager had an issue with me I thought it would only be fair for her to tell me instead of telling others and have it get back to me. I was too scared to apply for other position because I felt like my manager would tell them I wouldn't cut it in that position since she had no problem telling our VP. I ended up leaving companies, I truly thought I'd be at Morton for at least 5 years.

Pros

Strong awareness, trust and allegiance for the Morton Salt brand that was built, nurtured and sustained by smart, hard working, creative, loyal employees prior to the K+S acquisition. A lot of energy and enthusiasm spewing from top management.

Cons

Unrealistic exuberance for new brand extension opportunities. Aversion to an open minded consideration of opposing points of view. Inflated opinion of Morton's status as a major US CPG leader. In reality a very small fish in a big pond. The "new is good/forget the old" management strategy creates a costly "reinventing the wheel" environment. Role profusion and confusion among the marketing and sales department employees. Abandonment of customer focus. Customers viewed as a means to deplete production at the highest tolerable prices. Egotistical "chest beating" claiming management success for results driven by weather demand and cheap petroleum. Employees see through superficial attempts to bolster employee morale. Horrendous lack of follow through on commitments to recent retirees. German corporate direction to implement the SAP nearly sank the ship. Top corporate management seem to lack the expertise and interest to learn what it takes to make North American consumer brands healthy.
