Pros

You get to work on iconic brands and with some very intelligent people. With a big global company, you have the opportunity to work abroad.

Cons

Unfortunately, much of the strategy is centrally-derived from Dusseldorf. Even if you're working on a U.S. brand like Dial, you still have most of the decisions coming from overseas. Career advancement is based more on timing than on skilled work.

Pros

Good pay, Union job, not terrible work overall

Cons

Management lacks communication and micromanages immensely. Since packaging shut down, outlook on this plant is grim, with little to no positive affirmations from management regarding long term outlook. Zero room for growth at this site.
