Toxic environment

Pros

No one really knows what they’re doing, so if you don’t either, I suppose it’s a plus.

Cons

Incredibly toxic environment all the way from in-store to the Area Coach level (district managers) to the corporate office. Most of the Area Coaches, Region Coaches, and corporate office staff have wireless there for 15+ years, many have never worked for another company before, so they have no experience in the real world within an actual professional setting outside of a small “family owned” business, so none of them actually know what they’re doing, which means when you come in as an outsider with a lot of experience from elsewhere, you’re looked at like YOU don’t know what you’re doing. The amount of favoritism and illegal processes is unreal, because there is so much incompetence, especially within Human Resources, Training, and management. They have tons of trouble with recruiting and refuse to realize it’s because they refuse to pay a livable wage while all of their competitors have already realized they need to pay more you get quality employees, but because Border Foods is so cheap and all they worry about is the bottom line, they’d rather run their GM’s, AC’s, and HR staff ragged trying “new recruitment strategies” when the only strategy they need to do is actually pay their employees better. It isn’t rocket science but Border foods thinks it is. I feel so bad because the company used to actually be very family focused and at some point it really turned into a toxic, illegal environment.

Pros

Will definitely spend time and effort into developing your skills and abilities, relatively easy to work around almost any availability.

Cons

Some work situations may require that management work 12-15 hour long shifts, sometimes without breaks. It can be extremely difficult to call in sick, even with documentation, without repercussion.
