For me,close to home , 2-2-3 schedule gives you plenty of days off .Very fair work environment.I have seen several employees transition from production floor to management once they attained their degree,very diverse work force including management.Unilever does not tolerate unprofessional and unsafe behavior will terminate violators so it is a safe work environment.

Use employee feedback on production problems

Pros

The list of reasons why Unilever is the best place to work is way too long. So below are just a few:

Purpose – UL realizes the value of people who have a purpose as much as our brands with a purpose.
People – the organization cares about their employees as much as they do customers and consumers. Also the people who work at UL are smart, nice and most importantly authentic.
Brands – It is really an awesome feeling to let people know you work for this amazing company Unilever, and “Oh by the way, they make Dove, Hellmann’s, Ben & Jerry’s”.
Flexibility – agile work environment. Being able to get your job done from wherever, whenever.
Empowerment – being encouraged to own and make decisions and knowing that the leaders have your back.

and many more...

Pros

Great company with pleasant professional people to work with. People given opportunity to express their ideas and considered. Off hands management at times can be both a plus and negative.

Advice to Management

Put the right people in position to succeed and positive mentors

Pros

Good corporate culture, excellent social values. Floating start time helps with the commute. Willingness to help move you to other opportunities outside of your original scope of work. A definite culture of development across the organization (less so for some functions). 401K match is good. Tuition reimbursement up to 100% for approved programs (up to a annual max). Work life balance is good based on department/manager. Parental benefits are getting better - paid at 100% for up to 4 weeks for corporate salaried male & females and expecting moms (corporate salaried) 12 weeks of paid leave at 100%. US HQ location is Englewood Cliffs and the office is newly renovated. It is an agile environment, therefore, don't expect a corner office. Very casual dress attire - slacks and a nice blouse or sweater or jeans everyday (your choice!)

Advice to Management

Slow to make decisions. Excessive focus on budget and money since the Kraft-Heinz bid in January 2017. Link development to leadership goals/bonuses as this will lead to greater support of personal development. Managers need to learn to be better people managers - the art of communication, being transparent and honesty can go a long way. Don't keep people around because you like their work enough and they keep things going - if they desire upward movement and they won't get it at Unilever, be honest and tell them.

Pros

Rotation in different roles. You never feel bored in the same role

Pros

Ok on work/life balance and fair pay. They also push to challenge you in different roles and offer different courses when needed.
