Pros
BIC is a place where you will be stretched daily. It’s a pretty lean organization so you have the opportunity to take on a lot of high level responsibilities. Not super hierarchical so exposure and connection to Sr execs is a reality and working on both short and long term global strategic projects brings growth opportunities I wasn’t able to experience at other larger CPG companies.
Cons
Employees who have been with the company for a long time are struggling with the transformation
Continue readingThank you for taking the time to share your feedback! We are so glad to hear that you enjoyed your time at BIC. Our entrepreneurial heritage has provided the foundation for our team members to be empowered in their daily jobs. We are proud to be an organization that provides true responsibility, exposure and growth opportunities for our team members. We encourage our team members to step out of their comfort zones and embrace individual and organizational changes. Last year, we launched the Horizon Plan, a comprehensive strategy aimed at driving long-term sustainable growth and profitability across our business. Enacting this plan has prompted several changes across our businesses and functions, which we understand can be difficult for some. We are immensely grateful to all our team members around the world who are integral to ensuring the success of our new strategy. This is why we recently launched the "Sharing Horizon" plan, which creates the opportunity for every BIC team member to become a shareholder. Thank you again for your feedback and we wish you luck on your next adventure.
- Current Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Pay, the people, lax, easy
Cons
there is nowhere to advance
- Former Employee, less than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
There's not a single good thing to highlight about BIC
Cons
- Horrible management team all the way to the top - Complete lack of vision for the future of the company - They're operating in declining businesses and refuse to acknowledge or adapt to the changes in those categories. It's precisely why brands like Harry's entered the shaving category and crushed BIC's market share. Several years later they still have no answer. - They do not value their people at all. Regardless of how hard you work, the results you generate, etc. they will throw you to the curb in the snap of a finger. I witnessed first hand them terminating fantastic people simply because a new leadership regime was put in place. My advice...never get comfortable.

Pros
Work-life balance, Hybrid work, cool BIC items / giveaways
Cons
If you liked working in the 1990s, then BIC is for you! IT investment has been lacking, and the impacts are felt on a daily basis. Employees constantly cite the need for change, but it's clear, no significant overhaul is coming. You often hear "ONE BIC," but there is no apparent action being taken to really standardize processes, data, etc.. Very little acknowledgement to the people who remain re: their efforts. Instead, folks get beat up for what is not getting done, that is very much out of their control. It's revolving door of employees. Cannot attract / retain new talent.

Fast pace packaging and production - Back to School is longer days and some weekends - opportunities for growth - need more of a backbone to a recognition program for all employees
