    Sara Lee Anonymous in Downers Grove, IL:   (Current Employee)

    Pros

    Senior Management supports flexible work arrangements, and it is generally easy to make those work
    People are generally pleasant to work with
    Diversity and inclusion are real, not just given lip service

    Cons

    Processes and procedures are overscienced
    Everything is overcomplicated from the intranet site to all-company meetings
    The perks, compensation, and benefits have declined over the past year
    Very little training or support for new employees - sink or swim is the norm

    Advice to Senior Management

    Simplify, simplify, simplify
    Less change for the sake of change
    Regular employees care less about Wall Street and more about the general direction of the company
