Pros

The benefits are decent, co-workers are great. Close to home for me.

Cons

They have lowered their pay scale over the years by not giving decent or even any raise for years. They used to be the industry leaders now they are mediocre. Every time they take a benefit away they use the excuse, "industry standards". Most management hasn't co e up through the ranks so don't know the Fragrance business as well as most long term employees. They have closed ears to suggestions and experience.

Pros

Outstanding salary and benefits, free fragrance samples, pretty good catered food, summer hours, generous vacation time/PTO, tons of informational meetings to learn more about the company, looks great on your resume.

Cons

Terrible holier than thou management culture, no clear opportunities for growth, pass the buck attitude, horrible communication amongst the different departments.

Pros

There really are some stellar people at this company. The products are interesting and it's fascinating to see and learn how things that you consume everyday are produced.

Cons

The management team needs to wake up or just go! It's clear that the Executive Leadership team is dysfunctional and doesn't get along. The tension trickles down to the teams. In addition, it's very much an "ivory tower" culture. Those at the top don't deign to interact with those in the trenches, and if they do, it's certainly not genuine.
