Cons
The company has consistently been stripping away financial and health benefits from employees. There is an egregious lack of respect and professionalism for employee’s personal or private information. Confidential health information has been shared amongst employees, packing houses, customers for multiple employees; even senior members of the executive team have been over heard talking about other employees out in the open. The vast majority of the Executive team has been with Sunkist less than 4 years and it seems the new leadership philosophy is “out with the old, in with the new”, excising heart, history and integrity. Changes are made just for the sake of change, not for the greater good of the organization. The culture is AWFUL; no real mentoring or professional development, just a sink or swim attitude and the feeling that management is rooting for you to fail. HR is useless, but love to praise themselves, constantly adding staff without effectively changing or improving anything for the employees. There is a lot of inter-company conflict between Sunkist and her sister company, Fruit Growers Supply. Toxic employees are protected and subpar performing employees are allowed to remain in their positions without consequence. It’s impossible to support and respect a CEO that is so oblivious to how disrespectful, unprofessional and out of touch his leadership team is.
