Pros

Working here WILL diversify your portfolio, because you will be asked to take on more responsibilities throughout your invariably short career. The only real Pro I can think of is getting your foot in the door of the health beverage industry.
Cons
Upper management is under qualified for the tasks at hand and rarely look out for lesser employees best interests. Instead, amongst themselves they bad mouth employees, both past and current. If you ever quit voluntarily, you will be referred to as being 'purposefully forced out, like toxins within the body in ongoing efforts to detoxify the company.' If you are fired, your character will be defamed to 'boost' company morale in subsequent meetings. Employee retention is the worst I've ever witnessed; in one year the company lost more than 75 employees, most of which were professional individuals leaving voluntarily so as not to allow their resume to be tarnished by this company. Don't take time to get to know anyone; odds are one of you won't be around long enough to develop any kind of relationship with one another. The process for review is also extremely weak. More than likely the person conducting your review will either not take it serious, the process will change, or the person conducting your review will either quit or be fired. When employees are terminated, no mention of it is given to anyone and you gain a real sense that you're being watched and listened to at all times. Say the wrong thing, and you'll be out the door as well. There is no trust or leeway given to any employee, regardless of your education and professional experience. Salary and hourly employees alike are required to clock in and out using a hand-scanner. While most work can be accomplished from home, no one is ever allowed to do so. All forms of paperwork and record keeping are tedious and time consuming beyond reason, while you'll still be expected to finish all of your normal work. Creativity is squashed or ignored all together. The more talented you are, the more you'll be repressed and the longer you'll have to wait to see your ideas go nowhere. No clear answer is ever given and if you hear a positive bit of feedback one day, the next you'll be back at square one as if it never occurred. Change management is incredibly poor. Departmental changes occur at random and without real explanation or reasoning.
