    What's work/life balance?

    Pros

    exposure/ability to work on numerous different types of product fast pace work environment most of the people are wonderful to work with, although there are a few you probably want to avoid all together

    Cons

Community
For ten years, Spectrum Brands has partnered with Well Aware Nonprofit to bring awareness to water insecurity in Africa. Since the partnership began in 2012, Spectrum Brands has helped fund more than 12 Well Aware projects and enabled more than 45,000 individuals in East Africa to gain clean water. Water insecurity affects millions of people, and disproportionately impacts women and children who are often responsible for collecting water for the family and community. As we celebrate #WorldWaterDay, you can help raise much needed funding for future water projects by participating in #ShowerStrike! Learn more at showerstrike.org.
