Pros
-fast growing company with very entrepreneurial mindset providing lots of opportunities for growth if you just know how to grab them. -very warm and nice colleagues -flat hierarchy and you can talk to top managers with your opinions and suggestions -products are good and interesting; always on top of innovation
Cons
-overall HR and talentmanagement needs improvement -talents leave because of the lack of appreciation for internal talents -some senior managers are micromanagers which becomes demotivating for high performes. -career opportunities are normally available to go getters. Every promotion or change in position needs to be applied for which is understandable in general but demotivating for some.

I worked at Barry Callebaut full-time for more than a year
Pros
Three 12hr shifts and one 6 hour shift. That means 3 1/2 days off a week.
Cons
If you aren't willing to earn your paycheck don't bother. You need to show up on time every day you're scheduled and work hard. I say this because the only con was retaining temps. Their starting pay was decent but not great. When you prove yourself and an operator slot opened up, you were looking at a huge pay increase.
