Pros

Strong company with vast resources. Great potential for a young gun who can get inside the circle.

Cons

What have you done for me today...more secretive than they want you to believe. If you're not in the top group, you're on the outside. Hard work doesn't always count for as much as politics.

Advice to Senior Management

You're employees know much more than you give them credit for. Ask their advise then try listening to them

Pros

Fast paced, energetic, ever changing,& testing position in the foodservice distribution business. Good medical benefits w/401k and employee stock purchase plan .

Cons

Unclear communication from management as to the direction of what is expected from employees who are work their tails off trying to keep pace with the demanding work load. Annual performance reviews were NEVER anywhere near the hire date as directed in the company handbook.

Advice to Senior Management

If you have a program set up as "participation mandatory" it should be made clear at the time it is rolled out. Not after, and then reprimanding or chastising the employee who was doing what they thought was the right thing!

Pros

Selling fresh produce to restaurants and hotels is a very respectable job. I enjoy the customer contact and the dynamics of an industry that changes daily. Talking seasonality of fruit and vegetables, along with various elements that play into moving of produce from growing areas to the table. Keeping chefs up to date in industry trends and talking commodity markets.

Cons

The management at this location are out of touch with the customers and employees. There is no sense of urgency. We serve customers who serve guests, we should treat our customers like the are our "best customer". We give excuses rather than solutions and have no plan "B".

The cost of fuel and weather related problems in transport effect our business daily.

Advice to Senior Management

That we have to be respected in the market or our name carries no value, in fact it can hurt us.
