Pros

Free fruit and veg offered to staff after purchasing assessed new suppliers

Cons

Bullying by management. When this was reported to a senior manager, the bully was always protected. I saw so many colleagues in tears in the bathrooms. Also, we were clearly told never to speak to people levels above us. I said hello to the managing director at the Christmas party. Simply saying that one word got me called into my managers office the following working day for a screaming fit!

Pros

Benefits are excellent, most people at the peer level are great. Clear performance expectations. Decent cross functional communication

Cons

Company leadership very European and doesn't quite understand the American consumer even after being in the US so long. Unreasonable expectations are the norm. No upward mobility unless you are European or speak fluent German.
