Pros

Really great gender balance - many women in senior roles. Good values and opportunities to deliver positive social and environmental change through work. Many excellent managers and leaders who are kind people fostering an inclusive, supportive working environment.

Cons

Too many people work way too many hours. Too many people have damaged mental health through work stress. It's hard to progress in the company and have much of a life outside of work. There are a few part time roles but part time people don't actually work part time. Men and women in senior positions work full time and do not have a work life balance I would want.

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.
