Pros

Well at least I got paid.

Cons

I actually have been severed from this company for longer than 4 years but I was not able to select my actual final year there. But I am writing this to protect new blood job seekers from getting mixed up in this catastrophe. I am not sure if she is there anymore, but the company's CEO (whom I will not name but she likely demands to speak to the manager often) at the time I worked there looked for every reason in the book to get rid of me after my boss resigned and made me feel like I was walking on eggshells everyday. She kept her instructions purposefully vague, was snippy when I asked for clarification, and blamed/gaslit me for performing assignments incorrectly. I was not the only one. Literally everyone there was fearful of her to the point where they threw each other under the bus when something went wrong. When did work become the hunger games? That CEO almost completely destroyed my confidence and it was one of the reasons why I went to therapy. Luckily for me, she did not succeed. I moved on to grad school and now have the title I always wanted. I've worked with other CEOs in my time since Frieda's and while yes they had high expectations and lost their tempers at times, they were never out to destroy anyone like this one tried to do and I could tell she enjoyed it. Schadenfreude city.

Pros

It being a family-owned and run business, there is a family environment and friendly culture that makes it exciting to come to work everyday. Everyone works hard here and cares about growing the business. We have a very collaborative culture. There is a strong management team that never let's you fail. I noticed some people on here mentioned there is too much "micro-managing." However, Frieda's is a family business and everyone works hard to make sure our customers are happy. When someone is new or new to an account, Frieda's makes sure everyone is well-trained and is on the right path to success, no matter how experienced someone is. Again, they don't want anyone to fail. Everyone works hard, and everyone knows how to have fun. Many people get together outside of work frequently, go out for lunch, etc.

Cons

Produce is a perishable business so it's harder than people realize. But if you are dedicated and learn your craft, you can do well here managing through it.
