Good money but you will be a robot. - Personal Shopper Peapod Employee Review

Pros

You can listen to music on your earbuds while working. You can either work hard on some days and not work too hard on some. You can dye your hair crazy colors and have wild piercings/tattoos and wear leggings and tshirt if you want for women. You don’t have to talk to anyone other than management if you want to be antisocial with other coworkers. It’s a warehouse afterall, you are a robot. You are paid a lot of money if you work as 2nd/3rd shift.

Cons

Two 20 minute break which is pretty short. Manager gets mad if you take 21 minute break. Management is messy because there’s always someone sleeping with somebody in the warehouse. Very messy. I heard the regional boss recently got fired for the same reason. Warehouse team leaders think they’re on top of the workers and act bossy and arrogant when most don’t even have their associate degrees. These leaders and managers need to sit down and learn to communicate properly to their subordinates in a respectful polite manner. These leaders only care when an employee made a mistake. You will be nonexistent in this warehouse until you mess up... so basically you are a robot that they don’t care about.

Pros

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.

Cons

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.
