Good people, great benefits, and pay.
Cons
It is sad to see so many people walked out of the plant for unknown reasons.
- Former Employee★★★★★
Pros
This is still a simplified representation, and it might not fully capture the complexity and interactivity of your system. If a more detailed and accurate visualization is needed, a specialized tool or software might be more suitable for this task, such as system dynamics modeling software. Alternatively, you might want to consider working with a professional with expertise in systems modeling and visualization.
Cons

Great Company Overall & Great people to learn from
Apr 19, 2023 - Category Manager in Charlotte, NCRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Great compensation and benefits Great People to learn from Great work culture Great brands to represent
Cons
To grow in the company, who you know and who supports you plays a big role. They do not have a great cross-functional development program. If you start within one function and grow in it but want to transition into another, you will get passed over for someone in that function also applying because its less training they have to do.

Highly Political Profits Driven Culture
Mar 10, 2023 - Brand Manager in Englewood Cliffs, NJRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Some great people and highly intelligent co-workers, good pay and benefits, some great brands
Cons
The company doesn’t seem to teach anyone how to manage people so many individuals who are good “doers” get promoted simply because they can hit numbers yet have no business managing others. Team unhappiness is simply overlooked as long as growth is being generated. Politics run rampant here with global vs local often fighting and people jockeying for power. It makes the environment exhausting and burns employees out.
