Pros

Great compensation Good working enviroment Respect The opportunity to be part of consumer goods industry

Cons

Too conservative Very hard to get a carrer path. Opportunities are not given to the best individuals. Not work/life balance for finance, IT, and other support areas. Poor workplace conditions for a company of this size. Some people work with minimal space and light conditions. Not easy to progress and you become and specialist in your process. Nothing new to learn
