      Interesting Managment

      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      The mission itself. Being able to bring pets to work. Employee outreach to animal organizations.

      Cons

      Not inclusive nor transparent. Many communication issues in a non-collaborative environment. Employee trust and engagement in the organization and the mission was greatly effective due to these issues.

      Trying to be different, but loosing it quickly

      Business outlook

      Pros

      Initially, this company tried hard to be different, not the usual daily gind type of production. They had a reasonable plan for their growth (so many petfood start-ups are not prepared for rapid growth and really flounder because they can not maintain standards). They valued experience in the field. They are very generous with local encouragments (meals, parties) a well as bonuses. They are starting to realize their shortcomings in areas of thei production.

      Cons

      Nature's Variety is quickly becoming like it's mainstream competitors. People are just things that can be switch hitted to whatever position and shift is most needed. as seems common with other companies, middle managers and supervisors get the brunt of the workload, putting in 10-12 h days, at a minimum and often working 6 days a week without additional overtime. The company seems to scramble at times to determine what it should be focusing on in its process, which contributes to the chaotic feeling.

      Tough, but worth it

      Business outlook

      Pros

      If you're a finisher and you don't mind putting the work in, the recognition and opportunity in this company has no limit. Compensation is fair and Senior Leadership makes it a point to make sure things like merit increases keep pace with inflation. Very forward-minded when it comes to remote work. Competent, compassionate senior leadership team. You get the sense that everyone's really trying their hardest. Great employee discount on pet food! Benefits are also very fair. The veterans LOVE this company, and LOVE pets even more.

      Cons

      Long hours, but that's to be expected. Pressure can ratchet up on high-priority initiatives. This is a company that gets things done, so you have to have a tough skin when you fall short. This is a hard company to learn, so you have to work through impostor syndrome a lot. Can't get in your own head too much!!!
