When I was an ops manager, I enjoyed the job. I enjoyed working with the IC's and I also enjoyed how much walking I got in a day.
Cons
Poorly organized, apps don't work properly a lot of the time and are necessary for efficiency, there wasn't proper training, upper management(regional and up) are very hands off yet demanding

We set a high standard for ourselves, and we’re so sorry to hear this was not met in your time working for goPuff.
Lack of Accountability (Passing the Buck): Decision-making often lacks ownership, resulting in frustration and confusion when problems arise—issues are shifted rather than addressed.
Unrealistic Expectations with Reduced Labor Budget: Increased performance expectations paired with significant cuts to labor budgets leave teams stretched thin and unable to meet demands effectively.
High Turnover Among Operational Associates: The combination of workload pressure and no up-word movement leads to frequent employee departures at the associate level.
Burnout Among Site Leaders: Site leaders are overwhelmed by the demands of managing intense workloads with insufficient staffing and appropriate labor hours support, has led to burnout and diminished morale.
Insufficient Support Structures: There is a noticeable gap between what is expected of employees and the support (training, tools, manpower) provided to help them succeed.
Reactive Rather Than Strategic Planning: Operational strategy often feels short-sighted, with decisions made on the fly rather than through proactive, long-term planning.
