Pros

The headquarters for Perfetti van Melle USA is a nice building in Northern Kentucky that includes a half mile walking trail around their property. They have great brand recognition (Mentos, Airheads, Airheads Xtremes) and their global footprint allows the company to continue to grow in the confection arena. The company does a good job recruiting and hiring very good people (both personally and professionally) for levels below Director.

Cons

Perfetti van Melle USA has the opportunity to become a great place to work. This will not happen until there is a culture shift among the leadership team. For all of the great people working below the Director level, they do not do as good of a job getting good people for Director level and above. The environment is not as fun as it should be, nor is it healthy. You feel like you need to watch over your shoulder as you go about your work.

Pros

-hired straight out of college and got the experience needed to get a better job

Cons

-nice company to work for if you work in the offices, but if you work in production, maintenance, or technology departments you have to deal with the plant manager who is the worst boss i have ever had. I have never worked at a place where people are thrown under the bus so much and verbally abused in meetings (by the plant manager) in front of everyone. - the lower level employees for the most part are great people just doing their job, but management, VPs, and supervisors are all horrible and most have been in their position for 15+ years and do things the way they've always been done even if its wrong. - favoritism in production by management is common and people are promoted on personally relationships alone even if they are woefully unqualified. - HR was constantly losing, hiring, and losing people the entire time i was employed there, so no emails or phone calls were returned because of the revolving door of HR staff. - most equipment in production is >20 years old and is constantly breaking, leaking, and just inefficient. - management is so concerned with profit and hitting their numbers that they make "business decisions" that compromise the quality of the product -only work here if you have to and expect A LOT of forced overtime on the weekends
