Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We appreciate your honesty, and your input is invaluable as we strive to create a positive and supportive work environment. It's great to hear that you appreciate the hourly rate, free hot drinks, free fruit, payday pizza, Christmas bonus, and paid get-togethers. We're pleased to know that these initiatives contribute to a positive experience for our squad members. However, we are sorry to hear about the challenges you're facing, including the cold environment and the physical and mental demands of the job. Your well-being is our priority, and we constantly look for ways we can support you with our uniform and the winter warmer offerings we have been able to offer over the last few years (thermals, freezer jackets, etc.). We will continue to look into the investment of machinery and automation opportunities, as we have done in some areas so far, to hopefully improve some of the experiences you have shared. We want to assure you that we are committed to fostering a fair and inclusive workplace. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention, and we will work towards creating an environment where everyone feels valued and treated equitably. Once again, thank you for sharing your thoughts. Feel free to contact the People Team directly if you wish to discuss it further.

Pros

The culture at Butternut Box and Marro is really good - there is a great team spirit, and the business loves to celebrate wins, which makes for a highly positive and rewarding working environment. Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) is deeply woven into the company, with a strong focus on driving awareness across all teams. Additionally, the business actively encourages continuous learning and career development. Depending on your role, they also offer a great hybrid model with a mix of in office and wfh days, allowing for excellent flexibility.

Cons

The work-life balance fluctuates significantly depending on the time of year and specific project deadlines in my particular department. Additionally, it is a fast-paced working environment which may not suit some people.
