Reviews about "work life balance"
Return to all Reviews- Former Employee, more than 10 years★★★★★
Great place to work
Oct 20, 2021 - Territory Sales Manager in Pensacola, FLRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Work life balance, medical coverage, real leaders as opposed to transactional bosses, fast growing company, no micromanagement as long as you did your job well.
Cons
Turnover is very low in salary roles so moving up can be challenging, pay could be better but not terrible, 401k match needs work.
Thank you for the positive review - we continue to work to keep Central a great place to work!
- Former Employee★★★★★
If you want to do nothing, great place to work!
Oct 27, 2021 - Anonymous EmployeeRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Great work life balance. Not much skill sets are expected since most of them are old or been there since it was a tiny place and do not have up-to-dated skills nor experience.
Cons
Gossip heaven lead by senior managements. Most people joined recently are there to earn the better title to move on.
- Current Employee, more than 3 years★★★★★
Pros
Work independently. Good work/life balance.
Cons
Some long hours. Physical work in the heat

Jul 24, 2019 - Director of Marketing in Atlanta, GARecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Good culture with friendly coworkers/management. Opportunities for lateral and upward career growth. Reasonable work/life balance.
Cons
Can be a lot of travel, depending on team/position.

I'm glad I made the move to Central
Jul 26, 2019 - Transactional BuyerRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
I've been at Central for almost 6 months and I'm so glad I made the switch from my last place of employment. The workload is reasonable and good systems are in place so that we can get our jobs done. Great work/life balance. Special events are planned to keep employees informed and engaged. These range from quick 15 minute team building events to a full day "state of the union" meeting.
Cons
The merger of 2 business units still isn't fully assimilated, but I know that's being worked on.
Central Garden & Pet Response
Director of Talent Acquisition
Thank you for the positive review. We are glad you made the switch to Central too!
- Current Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
A very good company working hard to be great!
Jul 24, 2019 - Anonymous Employee in Charlotte, NCRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Work-life balance is very good. Your work hard but are fairly recognized for your efforts. Leadership is very strong and they listen to their teams. There is a lot of autonomy to create your path. Teamwork and collaboration is supported and encouraged.
Cons
No major cons...I don't believe that any place is perfect. As long as CG&P continues to want to be better, the company will continue to thrive.
