Pros

Good pay and benefits. Good brands. Good work life balance.

Cons

Redundancies every 6 months despite teams being overworked. Constant cost cutting and changes in strategy. In comms, promotions go to who's most popular or liked the most, not who is most capable. The politics just to get anything done makes it no longer a nice place to work.

Pros

Working with brands you grew up with is really exciting! The people I have met have all been amazing as well!

Cons

Everyone I have talked to are overworked and feel underpaid and despite the amount of work they do, there is no recognition or appreciation. Upper management is a mess and UL is constantly restructuring, often going from new BACK to the old structure while simultaneously letting people go leaving more people overworked. While most people are amazing, there are a few micromanagers where expectations are unknown. In addition, the lack of communication is awful. Often, I hear about certain cuts through the vine rather than directly from the people involved
