Pros

Getting responsibilities above your pay grade is great for learning and growth

Cons

Senior management has limited strategic direction, it's a very reactive business culture; some senior leaders are ill-equipped to perform in their roles Limited resources: very difficult to get approval for standard research/data resources and additional headcount to support the marketing needs of the organization; minimal to no data fluency for standard CPG metrics and methodologies at all levels of the organization Burn out as you are asked to work against KPIs that end up getting changed constantly Poor communication from the top down and across functional silos; a lot of finger pointing/no ownership/wheel spinning on the same issues over time Double standards for working remotely Terrible benefits

Not a good place to work

Business Outlook

Pros

Northern Colorado is a nice place to live and is a very affordable part of the state.

Cons

Management from the middle to the top is full of self serving incompetent people. Bad ethics and culture. Serious cronyism taking place, mostly among the managers from Brazil. Women are second class citizens who have no shot at high leadership roles. Zero work life balance and bad pay.
