Pernod Ricard North America reviews

-constant re-organizations because the Sr. Leadership keeps trying to apply the traditional CPG model to the Alc Bev model (one that has a three-tier distribution system). It hasn’t been working and it’s showing. -all the people who know anything about the industry have either left or are getting ready to leave. So now what’s left are people who don’t understand the realities of the industry. -The CMO, will just leave this here.

Place is a bit of a joke. Some of the people are almost insultingly stupid. Company has some really misguided missions/brands. Pay is way below market levels for non-marketing roles. The nicety of the corporate culture gets in the way of making the right decisions. Upper level management is European only. Upper level management also each send their departments in different direction because of poor communication between the individuals. There are some great employees, but they have a habit of leaving. There is a reason that the company has a very high turn over rate and so many openings. I feel bad throwing HR under the bus because they are deep in over their heads that they are destined to fail, but in many ways they sum up the rest of the company. They are ineffective but nice enough people whose only purpose is fill out a corporate cog, but ending up slowing down the functional part of the machine. There are a lot of issues but lets not get carried away. If you want a dynamic career this is not the place for you. If you want to stay in middle management for a long time and do nothing than you have a promising future at Pernod Ricard USA.
