Pros

Coworkers are great and fun

Cons

No way to move up and management and department heads don't fix issues and then mark down QA when those issues arise

Pros

- The product, food, recipes, etc. are all great. Kudos to the Culinary team for creating a great product. - There is a lot of cross-functional work that keeps the day to day busy and interesting. - Constantly adding new menu items and products to keep people interested (but maybe it's not enough to keep customers long term). - Most of my colleagues were great to work with.

Cons

- Leadership fails to see the work that many of their senior managers, managers, and associates are doing. - Year over year, subscriber numbers have been going down ever since the pandemic ended. - There is no culture. Every team or office party feels forced and uncomfortable. - With the acquisition from Wonder Group, it's only a matter of time until there are massive layoffs.

Pros

Teammates are fine Discounts off boxes Remote work Easy work

Cons

Insanely high workload with no assistance from management (Sometimes 5k+ emails in queue along with multiple phone calls and chats queued for hours) Management out of touch with employees No development for employees - management thinks that's not their job Lowest of the totem pole - not regarded as a real employee Awful PTO/Sick time policies to start and then you WILL hear about it if you take ANY time off because it's your fault they don't have enough headcount Gossipy - cannot complain to anyone, even in management without it getting back to the person you are upset with. They will mention you BY name as well. No accountability - everything is customer service department's fault No communication from other departments - things sprung on us that customers would know before we would, making us look like idiots and liars Touted customer-centricity but were punished for helping customers in that way. Raises are a joke - if you qualify after a self-review (which they will ask for in October and then follow up with in May) it's less than 5%. You won't receive that raise till near the end of the year though! Considered corporate employees but not offered corporate bonuses Forced to 'cross-sell/up-sell' on calls and act like a salesperson and graded on how often you do and how often people purchase after you attempt to sell Responsible for answering for low-quality product and deliveries with no support from the teams responsible for it So focused on metrics they forget they are working with humans and treat their employees like machines. No understanding.
