At Newell Brands, your work can show up almost anywhere.
It might be in a Sharpie marker used in a classroom, a Coleman cooler packed for a weekend outdoors, a Rubbermaid container in someone’s kitchen or a Yankee Candle fragrance that becomes part of a family tradition.
With a portfolio of brands that are part of everyday life around the world, working at Newell Brands gives employees the opportunity to make an impact they can actually see.
But the experience of working here is about more than the brands. Across offices, manufacturing facilities, distribution centers and retail stores, employees consistently point to three things that shape life at Newell: iconic brands, opportunities to grow and make an impact, and a collaborative, inclusive culture.
Work on Brands People Know and Use Every Day
One of the most distinctive things about working at Newell Brands is the connection between the work employees do and the products consumers use every day.
Newell’s portfolio includes approximately 50 brands spanning categories across the home, outdoors, learning and development, and commercial businesses. Employees can see the impact of their work in homes, workplaces, schools, stores and outdoor spaces around the world.
That creates a tangible connection to the consumer. Whether you work in design, marketing, supply chain, sales, manufacturing, finance, technology or another function, your work can help shape products and experiences that reach millions of people.
And because Newell operates across a wide portfolio of businesses, employees also have opportunities to learn from different categories, functions and teams over the course of their careers.
Build Your Career by Making an Impact
Career growth at Newell often happens through doing.
Employees are encouraged to take ownership, contribute ideas and stretch into new challenges. Opportunities can span brands, functions and geographies, giving people different ways to build experience and expand their careers.
That opportunity is especially meaningful in an organization focused on innovation and transformation. Teams are expected to stay curious, learn quickly and continue moving ideas forward.
At Newell, employees have opportunities to grow by doing — contributing to the business while building new skills and capabilities along the way.
Collaboration Is How Work Gets Done
Ask employees what stands out about working at Newell, and one theme comes up repeatedly: the people.
Teams work across functions, businesses and geographies to solve problems, serve consumers and bring ideas to market. Employees describe colleagues as supportive, approachable and willing to step in when someone needs help.
Employee feedback reinforces that experience. Most employees say they get the support they need from their teammates, and many also point to useful feedback from their managers as an important part of how they grow and succeed. The consistency of that feedback helps bring Newell’s collaborative culture to life in a way that goes beyond a traditional employer-brand statement.
That collaboration shows up in the everyday ways teams work together: sharing expertise across functions, helping colleagues through challenges and coming together to get the job done.
The culture is often described as friendly, down-to-earth, curious and genuine, with a strong sense that people are “in it together.”
Work Across Functions to Bring Ideas to Life
Collaboration becomes especially visible when a product moves from an unmet consumer need to something on a store shelf.
Bringing a new product to market can involve consumer insights, design, engineering, marketing, sales, supply chain, manufacturing and many other teams. Each brings a different perspective, and no one function succeeds on its own.
That same dynamic exists across Newell’s workplaces. In manufacturing and distribution environments, operators, maintenance teams, quality teams, supervisors, receiving, picking and shipping all depend on one another. In retail stores, teams come together during busy seasonal periods to create the experience consumers associate with brands like Yankee Candle.
The roles may be different, but the principle is the same: people accomplish more when they work together.
A Culture Built Around People
Employees also describe a culture where colleagues are approachable and willing to listen.
In focus groups, employees have talked about feeling comfortable asking for help, sharing ideas and connecting with leaders. One employee described the experience simply: “No one at Newell is too busy to hear you out.”
That support can extend beyond the work itself. One employee shared the story of colleagues arriving with chainsaws after a tornado damaged a teammate’s home, while leaders made sure that employee had the time and support they needed.
Moments like those help explain why employees frequently talk about the camaraderie they experience across Newell.
Make an Impact and Light Up Your Future
Newell Brands’ employee value proposition is simple: Make an Impact and Light Up Your Future with Our Iconic Brands.
That can mean helping create the next innovation for a brand consumers already know. Building expertise in a new function. Working alongside teammates who challenge and support you. Or seeing something you helped create become part of consumers’ everyday lives.
Working at Newell means joining a global company with recognizable brands and the scale to create meaningful opportunities, while being part of teams where collaboration plays a central role in how the work gets done.
