Pros

Some nice colleagues (but all leaving the business)

Cons

Undervalues employees and overworks them, more than double-hatting is the norm now and raising geographical scope and job responsibilities of frontline Level 1 work force that would be across multiple people in other companies without additional compensation - potential person of colour issue Too many graduates, apprentices and industrial placements doing the work of full-time employees with zero experience putting strain on delegated full time employees to train them No work life balance for some work level 1 and 2s Productivity plan impacts still ongoing, remaining colleagues leaving in October will expose more gaps Superficial line managers who delegate badly, prioritising networking the corporate ladder rather than managing and doing the role

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.

Pros

It is a large company with a record of 3 years without a recordable injury. Occasionally feeds the employees

Cons

The biggest issue with this plant and it invades every aspect of the company is a complete lack of ability to properly communicate information. The applies internal to departments, across departments and up and down. They have the technology to do it, just not the organization. Company could probably use much more Engineering organization.
