Pros

Management are offered handsome salaries and perks and a private office with keycard entry. Growth potential within management is likely with a rapidly growing company combined with a high turnover rate. A thriving start-up with seemingly limitless cash flow, and young leaders.

Cons

-Churn and burn outlook with both lower management and hourly employees - revolving door policy of hiring hourly associates for unskilled labor jobs -High turnover of management rate likely due to unrealistic production goals, hostile attitudes and behavioral issues of many associates, and a lack of formal job descriptions -Extreme cold temperatures -Strict dress code -Ambiguous guidance from HR and upper management -Currently operating without a GM or AGM -Constant security camera supervision -Employees frequently complain of food poisoning related symptoms from the food served, likely due to improper food handling and holding temperatures -Factory is located in a bad neighborhood, with train tracks occasionally blocking access to facilities -Incredible amounts of food and packaging waste, with zero attempts at conventional recycling or efforts to donate to local charities -Racial issues abound with a predominantly white management staff

Pros

Blue Apron is growing. Quick! To be part of a company that is growing this fast and to witness how we're impacting the way the country cooks at home is beyond words! It's an incredible experience. The company is in the process of building out the Senior Leadership team and understands the need for it. In the 8 months I've worked for Blue Apron, change has been inevitable and we're certainly heading in the right direction.

Cons

Undoubtedly not the ideal environment for everyone. You have to be willing to work the hours, go above and beyond any initial expectations and use the creative side of your brain you never thought possible. If you're up for the challenge, you're guaranteed to love every second of it!
