Pros

Still nice people, but recent changes brought in because of Kraft Heinz have changed culture. Still great brands and people.

Cons

Limited advancement opportunity now, heavy heavy cost cutting, and frequent layoffs. Large amount of relocations forcing people to choose between family and job. Not the Unilever I once knew. If I was external I would be very hesitant about joining firm, giving recent turmoil and heavy layoffs.

Pros

Working at Unilever in Raeford offers strong overall benefits, including good pay for the area, solid health insurance, retirement options, and additional perks like tuition assistance and employee discounts. The company provides a stable work environment as a large global organization, with opportunities for career growth and skill development in a modern, well-maintained facility. Employees often highlight the team-oriented culture, supportive coworkers, and clean, safety-focused workplace. Overall, it’s considered a reliable employer with good work-life balance and long-term career potential.

Cons

Working there can involve long hours and rotating shifts, including nights and weekends, which can make work-life balance harder depending on your role. The job can also be physically demanding, especially in production or warehouse positions, requiring standing for long periods and repetitive tasks. Because it’s a large corporation, there can be strict policies, less flexibility, and slower decision-making. Additionally, while growth opportunities exist, advancement can sometimes feel competitive or slow without the right connections or timing.
