Pros

Literally run from this sh*tshow

Cons

If you’ve seen the new “Must Be a Moen” campaign from Fortune Brands Innovations / Moen, you might think it’s about quality, innovation, or pride in craftsmanship. Internally, it feels more like a running joke to explain away dysfunction. Confusing org structures? Must be a Moen. Constant leadership changes? Must be a Moen. Roles that look nothing like what you were hired to do? Must be a Moen. The gap between external branding and internal reality is… impressive. Strategy is talked about a lot, but execution devolves into hyper-tactical, low-value work with little alignment or clear ownership. Priorities shift frequently, often driven by whoever has the loudest voice in the room that week. Cross-functional collaboration is more theoretical than real—teams operate in silos, and decision-making lacks transparency. Instead of empowering experienced hires, there’s a tendency toward over-management and unnecessary process, slowing down even basic progress. To be fair, there are smart, hardworking people here—but many are stuck navigating a system that makes it difficult to do meaningful, impactful work. If you’re looking for a place where branding and reality align, this may not be it. But if you ever find yourself wondering “how did things get this way?”… well, I guess the answer is: must be a Moen.
