Pros
- Competitive pay - Very nice home office facility (cafe', offices, workout, etc.) - For the most part, nice people working alongside you on the lines. - Club Med for most departments outside of Engineering/Sales/ Marketing. Manageable hours. - Top player in their space (also a Con - see below - just bought!). Top brand "Hefty" on Consumer too. - Beefy Logistics and Customer Service Depts. Make it, move it, etc.
Cons
- Get you in with the 'bait' (money), but very hard to move anywhere even laterally - Old boy regime dating back to the 80's. Cronies protected. One or two guys tapped on shoulder for promotions. - Just acquired in Nov 2010 by a foreign private equity. MASS layoffs have just occurred with more to come likely. Creating a very hectic work environment with the new owners' hard line focus on profit. I'm sure some areas are less affected, but the last few months were nightmarish, and provided a pretty good '8 ball' of the new focus in 2011.
