Buyng Manager (Former Employee), Dhaka, Bangladesh –
Pros: free lunch, tea, coffee etc
Cons: family health care, mandatory annual leave, family days, annual family picnic, cultural programmes etc.
Ever day is a new day in Unilever with new challenge. A day starts with the morning meeting to discuss preious day's activites, analyzing faliures (if any) & leanings there from. The Buying Manager & his team are fully throttled for servicing bearing in mind that there must not be any production discontinuity for supply chain break down.

Unilever Bangladesh – more...  (UB) has an effective buying team headed by Buying Manager. Buying Manager in UB is a regional post reporting to the Regional Drector sits in Mumbai, India. However, s/he has an indirect reporting to local Supply Chain Director for day to day actvities.

A wonderful buying team where every one contributing for achieving the fnctional goal.

The hardest part of the job is to set stretching targets for the function & the most enjoyable part is is to celebrate the target fulfilling at the year end with the entire team. It's an amazing experience seeing each of the tea members being rewarded for individual brilliance as well as excellence. – less

Safety & Manufacturing Specialist (Former Employee), Little Rock, AR –
Pros: company store with huge discounts, free off grade food
Cons: foreign plant manager that is a bully
Went over 2 years without a recordable incident and I was put onto a Program Improvement Plan. These PIPs are hard to get through, because the terms go beyond the scope of your job.

HR and Boss was not supportive and allowed the Plant Manager eliminated several co-workers unjustedly.

Lead Chemical Technician (Contractor)
Adecco Contractor (Former Employee), Trumbull, CT –
Pros: benefits and health care was great, the work environment was not stifling
Cons: hard to get hired on as a contractor
When working for Unilever in Trumbull, Connecticut the experience was great and it was an excellent place to work, it was a nine to five and the work versus home balance was great.
I was the Lead Chemical Technician in charge of and managed Pilot Plant inventory of 1,500 raw materials for over three years. We made soaps, body washes, etc. I went home – more...  smelling good because of the perfumes used to create batches, and since I was a contractor at that time, this meant that my time there was limited, it was not a bad experience. – less

Too large of a company
HRIS Administrator (Former Employee), Melrose Park, IL –
Pros: they are very focused on safety.
Cons: cold, indifferent
I never really got to know Unilever because once the purchase of Alberto Culver became final, I was given my walking papers. However, during the time that I was employed, it was evident that the small, family atmosphere that Alberto Culver was famous for, was nothing like Unilever. It was all business and little interaction with the basic workforce.
