Vantaggi

You work with candy. Good pay.

Svantaggi

Leadership provides no direction or strategy. Everything is always a fire drill. People are expected to work long hours and horrible work life balance. Executives are obsessed with consultants and often hire them into positions that they are not qualified for (always enamored with the next shiny object but it never lasts). Very bad job listening or soliciting feedback from employees. Heavily skewed towards sales and marketing, so operations, finance and IT are often left cleaning up the mess that sales / marketing create.
