Unfair Environment - Picker/Packer Peapod Employee Review

great culture, great people, smart, innovative, ahead of the curve

lack of advancement, little parent company support

The only good thing I can say about Peapod, is about the individuals who work on the Infrastructure team. The IT team is comprised of friendly, intelligent, outgoing, personable people who have an immense amount of talent and skill. I made friends with most of them during my time there. There are a few who only look out for themselves, but thats typical at any workplace. Working with such an awesome team, makes the job fun.

Peapod has no idea how to pay their IT team fairly. Upper management takes care of EVERY other department, except IT and Operations. Everyone is, at least, 30% under fair market value. You may get a promotion, but the promotion will give you double the work and a little bit of pay. A salary you should have been making prior to the promotion. They justify this by telling you Peapod is giving you an opportunity - so really you don't even deserve the promotion and increased work load...or your not qualified for it..? Another thing about Peapod....Upper mgmt does not care about anyone. The culture used to be amazing at Peapod, but in the last couple years, with the injection of Execs from the parent company, it gone down hill significantly. Ahold (parent company) has literally sucked the life out of execs who used to care about you. Maybe this has something to do with how awful Peapod is doing as a business.
