Pros

Talented colleagues Good employees discount (excluding can’t use employees discount to buy Fiskars products in Finland)

Cons

Toxic leadership in Vita or Vita brands? Don’t know when changed the name without any official communication; Only ‘suck up’ type of behaviors will be promoted to chief officer or ‘end to end VP’ no matter how poor their leadership is; Employees are forced by HR not asking stupid questions in town hall (not blaming the working level HR who just got this order from the Chief HR officer); Introduced new values without engaging any members in the team (perhaps only with those chief officers - toxic female leadership); HR is a joke, they just please the CEO and don’t care people, from interim CHRO to current CHRO; Staying in the most luxury hotel while laying off people around the world and force employees stop asking this in town hall; Btw, BA Fiskars is also toxic, they re just less bad compare with Vita; and group is just shrinking and shrinking. So please don’t apply this company. And run away as far as you can.

Pros

Your paycheck does get deposited.

Cons

Most toxic work place imaginable. Total reorganizations often. Constant turnover due to horrific "leadership team". Complete disaster. Everyone good has left or is in the process of leaving. No job security, miserable staff barely drags themselves to work 2-3 days a week (unless managers, then only for company meetings).
