Pros
the only pro's are the overtime potential and the 50% off at the fresh direct store
Cons
Extremely long hours upwards of 12-13 hours 5 days a week . Its back breaking work and trust me not a lot of people here last long . It takes a lot to get fired here because it rarely happens since most people quit in the first . Management isn't the best from top to bottom . So if you work here have a plan in mind this should be 6 month - 1 year type of job .

Pros
Interesting business with some strong employees Good product offering
Cons
Poor communication between departments Not scalable at least in it's current form. A lot of back end processes need improvement Not well controlled. Senior Management is mixed, a lot of the problems of scalability and inefficiency should be addressed but aren't prioritized. Merchandizing and the plant operations are always at odds and pointing the finger at each other and the transportation side of the business is a disaster. While it's a good business to be in I don't think the Company can streamline and scale processes effectively to make it really profitable.

Pros
Easy Task. Can use the bathroom then return to work. Nice cafeteria. Good benefits.
Cons
No sitting during 12 hour shifts. Favoritism between staff. They fired me because they said I smelled like marijuana but also told me I can smoke it on my free time. I was not under any influence. I worked in the chill department so I had to keep my jacket on. And I had a small clip in my pocket. Marijuana is legal in NY state and I was not smoking. But still was fired.

Hello, and thank you for sharing your feedback with us. Although cannabis is now legal in the state of New York, employees whose roles require the use of heavy machinery or potentially dangerous tools are not permitted to use cannabis during working hours. FreshDirect prides itself in maintaining a safe workplace for all employees. We are happy to share further details at your request. You can send us a note to EmployeeCommunications@FreshDirect.com to continue the conversation. We hope to hear from you.

Pros
FreshDirect is a company that puts effort into their employees. Since I have been employed, I have had opportunities to develop myself in experience and also knowledge in areas that were new to me. Growth opportunities are provided for the employees in different programs such as the meat program, the Team Lead program and other job opportunities. The company encourages promotions from within. With COVID, the company focused on employee safety, from putting processes in place and adjusting our business model as needed.
Cons
Communication among teams can be improved.
