Pros

Free food worth it? Absolutly not

Cons

Worked there for several years they work you to the bone. I am almost 40 in good shape and I have never felt so run down I was getting these pains in the side of my head from being way over stressed the doctor had told me. I had heard that when you get fired from here they belittle you and yell at you and treat you like you are a useless piece of garbage and that everyone here gets fired I had a hard time believing it, well on more then one occasion I had seen this happen and it does not make you feel comfortable as they berate other co workers as they are high above you wealth wise so their mentality is I am better than you, the owners knew about personal issues I had that occurred from working in their facility from being over stressed and worked. When they went to fire me they called a meeting for the whole department to watch two others plus myself be humiliated. In the end it was the best decision they could have made or I would probably be still there with a heart attack under my belt. My Advice to anyone reading this is to stay away, stay far away. These 5 star reviews are far from the truth and probably paid to write from their sheep employees. if you value your personal well being and sanity do not join the dis-functional gourmet foods..

Pros

Good pay and benefits. Flexible hybrid work.

Cons

Constant layoffs. I was laid off 7 months after starting, while on a business trip in a Kroger parking lot, with no explanation given. Layoff process was pathetic, no communication and had to threaten a lawyer to receive my severance payout. American politics are often discussed by Canadian upper management. Foul, unprofessional language is frequently used. Very unprofessional, unstable work environment. I would recommend looking anywhere else for employment.
