Salinas, CA

Current Employee – been working at FRESH EXPRESS

ProsWonderful people. Kind Family oriented. Supportive. Will help you to succeed but you have to take your career into your hands and show them you're a go getter.

ConsDepending on who you are aligned against, after a while learning curves tend to flatten, and growth seems to slow. You have to stay vocal about new opportunities.

Advice to Senior ManagementKeep hiring new talent with fresh ideas, give more opportunities for advanced training and skill building, keep your people learning and ahead of the curve. Too many people have become "comfortable" in their roles. Management needs to take the talent pool to the next level.

Current Employee – been working at FRESH EXPRESS

ProsFamily like atmosphere, nice people, accessible management, dedicated work force

ConsLimited investment in technology and automation (aren't we in the 21st century...why are we using 2 decades old methods), too many new priorities introduced at the same time...no focus. Production stretched too thin. HR department too demanding.

Advice to Senior ManagementPick one or two key initiatives per year and focus on those. Provide competitive pays and job growth opportunities to retain talent. Improve hiring practices to bring in people with the right skill level for the relevant job.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
