Pros

Fresh produce is a fun and working with clients is easy Decent benefits Relatively easy job

Cons

Complete lack of accountability across most departments, until one day they decide to terminate people. Morale is low - people are afraid to speak up and the sales manager and GM are totally hands off. Most people don't even talk to each other at work. No coaching or training to speak of - "on the job" training equated to riding around with a miserable co-worker who complained about the company nonstop, then introduces you to 100 customers, then you areleft to figure things out for yourself. Yes, plan on having at least 100 customers to manage. Sales are expected to run a lot of will calls and be part time delivery staff. Transportation has constant calls outs and late routes. There were 3 Transportation managers in the past year, Transportation manager got into a yelling match with one of the employees, then the employee gets terminated. Good employees leave because upper management doesn't develop and manage people, they just get moved into a new job or demoted.

Pros

Selling fresh fruits and vegetables is fun! ESOP is just the dangling of the carrot. Seems to be the new corporate buzz word.

Cons

No culture or core values. And yes, what makes them amazing is the people! But at which company is that not the case? Inconsistent job titles, responsibilities, systems and disciplinary actions across all divisions in the company. No transparency or explanations as to why things are the way they are. Slow to adapt to changing technology landscape. Family company, but are all the in-laws and cousins the right fit for all the roles? They might be the largest private wholesaler on the West Coast but that hasn't created any purchasing power to be used as an advantage. With Co-CEO's, half divisions run one way, the others another way. Very fragmented structure. HR is not there to support employees, purely to protect senior staff/executives and company. "Too many Chiefs, not enough Indians."
