Pros

You can literally show up whenever for your schedule shift without any consequences. Our site has one of the more stringent policies - You can miss up to 20% (ie. 8 hours over a 40 hour week) and not be written up. Perfect for the unmotivated! You get 20% off and a free Fam Membership (a $6/month value).

Cons

General Managers and Shift Leads are paid bonuses based on simple statistics (ie. Warehouse cycles counts) generated by their lowest paid employees, Operations Managers. goPuff is desperately trying to be part of corporate America they are really ignoring the basics of building a culture and a healthy company. I'm currently witnessing a GM work 80+ hours/week between driving and opertions while corporate won't allow scheduled overtime for hourly employees. They'd rather run a 20 some year old (salaried) into the ground than pay $19.50/hour in overtime to an Operations Manager that is in control of the daily operations.

Pros

Supportive Regional manager for sites

Cons

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.
