Pros

None since the new management

Cons

Ever since FreshDirect was bought, the new management has seemingly gone out of its way to make working there miserable. No communication was given to employees about new plans or policies and entire departments were laid off. Department managers were laid off so we had no direction on what we were supposed to be doing, and were never approached by Getir (the new owners) on what was needed. After the new management took over, office employees were given less than 24 hours notice that their hybrid schedule would now be a full-time, in office schedule. The new CEO spent his time hanging out the security desk to check that people were clocking in and telling us that any problems were our fault. Previously the job could be a little chaotic and unpredictable, but everyone there was generally upbeat and wanted to work together. With the constant turnover and low morale (at least one department has completely left) I doubt this company will be around much longer.

Pros

What I loved about this job is getting full ownership over my part of the business, and I know a lot of people stick around because they feel a similar passion and ownership. Even though the company is 25 years old, there are still many areas where a much work is needed and therefore great opportunity for new people to come in and make big impact.

Cons

No flexibility for employees to work from home when needed, and terrible PTO package. The family leadership is not transparent, makes questionable business decisions.
