Pros

employee discount & free snacks...sometimes

Cons

Horrible place to work. I was treated like garbage, patronized often and made to feel like a fool if I didn't know something regarding an industry I was brand new to. I asked a question on my 4th day and was told, "I really don't have time to hold your hand through this"...it was a yes or no question regarding a very unique shipping model I had only received a brief intro on. They're still running like a start-up trying to fix problems that should be month long initiatives in 3 weeks then wondering why things fail again. Management was a DISASTER! It was filled with petty, immature, rude people and not to mention the rumors and gossip that would go around about how people got to their roles. I was expected to travel constantly, with little to no notice, and couldn't even get a company card. I had to pay off my credit card bill on my own then they'd constantly be delayed on my reimbursement!! Numbers were constantly showing a failing business then employees were expected to manipulate the data to show growth. In my short time there 4 people ere fired with no notice and I can't even count how many people quit. Oh and the interview process and job posting could not have been farther from what the actual job required. I accepted a job and soon realized it was a position completely different from how they made it seemed and I would have NEVER taken the job if it was described correctly. I was reprimanded for not having experience with a particular system that I never claimed to have, and wasn't on the job description.

Thank you for taking the time to review your time at HelloFresh. We work hard to ensure that our job descriptions accurately portray the work and requirements of the job, and regret that your experience did not match with your expectations. We work to train our employees and Managers so they are prepared for their roles and recently developed a Manager Fundamental Program for our managers to develop their skills. Communication is a major focus at HelloFresh and we have developed a cadence that we hope creates more transparency: we have quarterly Town Hall meetings to share business updates, and encourage regular 1:1 meetings with managers to cascade information to every employee. We aim to be as transparent as possible and strive to help all employees understand our business and how decisions are made. We are also constantly trying to improve our internal processes including our company cards and expense reimbursements to make the systems more reliable for employees. Thank you for taking the time to write this review, we appreciate you sharing this feedback. While it sounds like there were some areas for improvement during your tenure on the team, we appreciate you sharing this feedback with us, and we have passed it directly along to the people leadership team here at HelloFresh.

Thank you for the feedback. We strive to provide competitive compensation to our team members and we keep track of market trends to ensure that our team members are compensated equitably. HelloFresh is a unique environment, which can be fast-paced; one of our core values is, in fact, ‘Speed and Agility’! We are also constantly trying to ensure that our teams are supported and can prioritize their workload to ensure they are working on high-impact, high-priority projects. We work hard to ensure that our job descriptions accurately portray the work and requirements of the job, and regret that your experience did not match with your expectations. We have started to define and create “Professional” and “Manager” pathways to help further develop our employees and provide progression opportunities. We strive to make HelloFresh a great place to be for our employees, and one way we do that is frequently surveying our employees to find out what they love about HelloFresh. While some members do leave the team, we are constantly looking at ways we can improve the employee experience and retention.
