Pros

- Inspiring mission to feed families affordably and reduce food waste - Team is friendly, hard working and inclusive - Extended holiday weekends - Fully remote - Fun virtual team events - Good benefits package including parental leave

Cons

- Some senior management team members are inexperienced and ineffective - Beware: Company has recently laid off some team members in Canada and rehired the same roles out of the US. They have also hired US team members and let them go a few weeks / months later because of a change in direction - Culture can be very focused on nonstop work, but priorities turn on a dime - Some senior management team members are driven by who you know versus skill set

We agree with you on the mission being inspiring, and thank you for being part of it. We are committed to balancing national diversity in each team as we fill roles that become available. While there have been no layoffs, there will always be changes to structure as the needs of our customers evolve.

Pros

The mission of Flashfood is really strong. Helping people get access to affordable, fresh food is life changing, and our shoppers tell us this every day. Everyone that works here is really passionate about this mission. The company is growing quickly and you can feel the momentum!

Cons

It's a fast-growing company and that's a fun rocket ship to ride, but a rocket none-the-less!
