Pros

I worked full time at Blue Apron's Linden facility in the packing department. The Linden location was within a short driving distance from my house.

Cons

-90% of the building is not finished, yet they still insist on hiring massive amounts of people - You can only eat in the trailer "cafeteria" which will not hold the amount of people they plan to hire (again, the real cafeteria, break room, and lobby are NOT done yet, but somehow they "put their emplyees first"). - Some supervisors can be nasty; one admitting that he once came in with a hangover - Machines break down every 15 minutes causing workers to have to construct boxes by hand or just wait in the cold for at least 20-30 minutes at a time -Even though your schedule says you will have the same schedule every week (they even bold the words "same" and "every week") you will be expected to work longer than your scheduled hours. - Extreme lack of communication; some supervisors don't know what they are doing - A number of employees yell out racial slurs - It's very easy to feel like you're just a part in a machine - Scheduled locker checks like we're in middle school - You do not receive benefits untils 60 days after you start working - I have been made to on a number of occaisons enter the freezer without proper protection. It's literally snowing in there!

Thanks for your feedback. We understand our facilities might be a little chilly due to the temperature required by Food Safety laws, but ensuring a comfortable work environment is also very important to us. We hope the Blue Apron swag we provide may offer you a little more warmth!
