Pros

Decent Technology platform. Bonus program that starts pretty early in the pay bands.

Cons

Where to start... There are MicroManagers at every level. These managers have little regard for the people that work for them. This is especially evident when they are making decisions about moving people from team to team. Year-end reviews and promotion decisions turn into popularity contests rather than based on what people actually contribute. Management always plays games with salary increases each year - telling you that times are tough and you weren't going to get anything, but I went to bat for you and got you 2%.

Pros

Helps pay for you education.

Cons

I worked there for a summer to earn money for college. Training was minimum. FUll-time people would not help students felt threatened that their job may be taken away. Work conditions were not the best. Difficult to get time off even for educational purposes. Student's were not allowed to have any time off within the summer months.

Pros

There are some good people who work here and a person can learn a lot from them. They are a manufacturer of internationally recognized, good quality snack foods. There is a pension plan in place (however meager it may be) and the employee benefit plan is well thought out and administered. There is an abundance of meetings going all the way down the chain to keep employees "in the loop" on new promotions, products, company direction, etc.

Cons

You seem to put in much more than you get back. I saw people who shouldn't have even been employed move up the ranks within management and then wonder why employees have low morale and are dropping like flies. While the company may preach "work/life balance", it's more like something they can put on paper to look good but will never really have to implement. Rather than invest money to replace an employee who has left the company, they will find ways to redistribute work amongst those who remain who may have already had full plates to begin with. Yearly salary increases are not based on merit, in fact, you're lucky if you receive a salary increase to cover a cost of living increase. Lucky.
