      Look elsewhere...terrible management dynamics & morale

      Pros

      You get to work all the time - long days/nights/weekends. Sunday projects from bosses for Monday meetings...fun! The credit for your Good Work will be overlooked and taken by your boss. All decisions are made from out of touch upper tier directors/VP's. If you like outsourced internal providers that have no stake, this is your place. Narcissistic Senior Level management is crushing to morale. Group/consensus think rules - no one to blame (Dir/VP's) in group think except worker bees. Risk averse culture - stagnant innovation. Lots of failed initiatives due to upper level control and no trust of worker bees insight, experience, and intelligence. Might be a "Family" company, just NOT "Your Family".

      Cons

      Moving work out of Racine Losing long term employees that know the business and turning it over to "outsiders". Most of the upper management (Sr. Directors/V.P.'s/EVP's) are influenced only by their own KPI's...crush everything down stream that will get in the way of their own performance/rewards.

      Pros

      Good global brands Company's desire to expand New CMO vision Still good people working there although several are leaving or looking for leaving.

      Cons

      Work life balance. Lack of empowerment. Human Resources (or actually the lack of it). Career path is sometimes driven by perceptions rather than performance. Too much bureaucracy, politics and internal talking. Our VPs are more focused on looking right to the CMO and CEO, rather than building solid strategies and plans to satisfy customers and consumers. Everything has to be escalated for approval to the highest levels, even small things like case count changes!! This creates a bottle neck in all processes and slow things down. The company is working on a constant "Reaction" mode, changing directions frequently and chasing the competition, rather than leading the growth. The company has downsized the number of employees, but kept the same prehistoric, complex and slow systems to run the business. This creates inefficiency and increases (unproductive) workload
