      Pros

      We are provided with opportunities to learn and apply new skills. We are encouraged to grow our strengths rather than focus on "opportunities for growth". Allowing our strengths to excel our careers. People are smart and are able to get things done. People are willing to share information and mentor others. Volunteering within the communities we live are encouraged and supported. We are able to volunteer during our workday as well as through organized community outreach efforts.

      Cons

      The food industry as a whole is struggling, because of this we've gone through a lot of change. Lost co-workers to lay offs and are generally in cost cutting mode all the time. We have the same amount, if not more work to do with less people.

      Working on culture post re-orgs, but there's more work to do

      Pros

      The people are wonderful - truly genuine and collaborative. The company is trying to get business back on track and focus on the growth areas. There is a verbal change from driving profit to driving sales growth - much more exciting!

      Cons

      The culture has shifted - there are less family friendly opportunities (i.e. part time roles got reduced); manager jobs were created during the re-org and managers were told they would have larger teams and that would be their focus, but all of a sudden the jobs turned back into working manager jobs with huge teams; the leadership team is not very inspirational right now.

      Friendly, smart people. Well respected in the industry.

      Cons

      Restructure has decimated employee morale. More people leave every day
