Pros

Megafood (Foodstate) earnestly attempts to remain true to food and really does make everything right in Londonderry, NH.

Cons

Unfortunately there are some bad apples. The sheer lack of leadership creates endless and unmanageable chaos. Directives are given with only vague considerations causing relentless delays and basic anarchy as the entire team awaits approvals. Speaking of which are feats in themselves. We were told to email, text, call and even stalk people after hours to receive approvals. Mind you this is before said document would be approved by six or more others.To add to the complexity of approvals or any communication for that matter, the required management were chronically absent. Nearly every morning they came in late and left early with a great excuse or even none at all. The lack of support, communication and leadership was compounded with people who consistently took credit for others work. Some people even elicited a High School "clique" mentality working with what I could only describe as one of their best friends. People got away things such as sleeping on the floor during work hours. While some others would bring in their dog for the day completely ignoring office rules.

Great benefits and decent pay, work remotely, managers are all very nice and respectful. great work life balance as they have many family friendly benefits.

Cons

limited in career development if you are eager to thrive as it's a pretty small company and not many opportunities.

Pros

I saw this company on NH Chronicle and my immediate thought was "How do I become a part of that?" <--- See what I did there? It wasn't "How do I work there?" It was "How do I become a part of that!?" I would be here even if it were on a volunteer basis. This company, it's leaders, all of the beliefs and the amazing culture are in my "Pros" list. I have never come into a job and had such a warm welcome. The culture here is like no other. They don't treat you like a number. I am treated like family. There are constant trainings that help be do my job better and help me grow as a person. They care about me. ME! Not what I can do for them but what they can do for me. How they can help me be better...grow more. The Pro's are endless. I have found my forever career. My home away from home. My passion! Thank you for being the company you are. For the beliefs you hold and for the culture you offer. You are doing it right and making it better every day.

Cons

Cons huh? Well I guess I should play devil's advocate here. Let me think. Well... there is one. The tissues they have here are really rough on my nose. Maybe take a look at that.
