Pros

Yum has always had a great corporate culture and work/life balance. Good benefits, can honestly say I've never had a bad boss.

Cons

Lot of restructuring (layoffs) and offshoring last 18 months, overall employee moral recently has been horrible.

Pros

Flexible schedule, bonuses at the time. Friendly people to work with. Started as in intern while going to college, and was brought on full-time.

Cons

The culture really changed over the seven years I worked there. There were a lot of layoffs, and jobs were outsourced to India (and later most were brought back to in-house). Sad, because it was an amazing place to work prior to that.

Pros

Casual work environment in the I.T. dept. Decent people work there.

Cons

Yum does not consider I.T. to be a "core competency" of the company. I.T. is mostly viewed as a cost to be managed rather than a high value. steep layoffs caused poor morale and conditions of everyone being overworked and stressed.

Pros

Bonus structure was excellent for salaried employees, as a senior worker bee my target bonus was 8%, which even in bad years was a decent lump of cash. Excellent amenities for workers. Decent health insurance plan. Was awesome, now just competitive.

Cons

Lots of 9-5 mentality. Heroes that fix problems they create get recognized. Big annual layoffs and restructuring for the last 4-5 years I was there. Not much challenge for a technical person. Big emphasis on style over substance. Recognition culture went from fun to lip service to a horrible chore.
