Blue Apron Response

Thanks for your comment! We're so happy you are enjoying working in Arlington and would recommend us to others! We understand our pack facilities might be a little chilly due to the temperature required by Food Safety laws, but ensuring a comfortable work environment is very important to us and we hope the Blue Apron swag we provide gives you some added warmth!

Pros

Working for Blue Apron you learn a lot about various products that are not typically sold in regular stores/supermarkets.

Cons

The work is not hard it's the lack of communication and organization. It's hard to move up especially when you're a good worker.
