Pros

These apply for the whole company - Good relative salary and benefits - Flexible working hours* - 3 days a week home office - Although most of my team tried to move inside the company and wasn't successful, we did see some people join the team from within Unilever. - Saw one succesful promotion in the area

Cons

- You're expected to work non-paid extra hours. Most of my teams work days were around 12 - 16 hours. (Constant Crunch Culture) - Work is measured very arbitrarily, often involving a conflict of interest and not taking into account a learning curve. On top of this, most processes are not properly documented. Meaning process manuals are incomplete, outdated, illegible or just wrong. Because of this, often reworks are needed in expense of the person performing the process. - Some of the members of the team traded extra work for additional pay. The latter was never delivered. - There was an unresolved case of harrasment from a superior in the workplace. HR decided to ignore it. (as most of other issues in the workplace)

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.
