Pros

I worked at the Honor Foods division of Burris Logistics. There were some truly outstanding people there, people I regarded highly both personally and professionally. For example, Dave and Joe in IT. Dave is highly knowledgeable, excels at "thinking outside the box," and is fun & supportive to work with. Others instantly come to mind: Emory in accounting, Rick and Steve in Sales and Purchasing, Sue at the front desk, and Joe and Richard in management. If you have the blessing of working for Joe or Dave, it will be one of the best work experiences you ever have.

Cons

The HR department seems to have an oddly close relationship with top leadership, with far more influence over company operations than their expertise warrants. During my time at Honor Foods many employees had been there for over 20 years, some for over 30. When the then-new HR manager arrived, HR seemed to have immediately been given far more influence over company operations than the top producers who had been with the company for many years. Prior to 2010, top management held their top producers, in every department (warehouse, sales, purchasing, IT, accounting, collections) in high regard. Their opinions were valued. By 2013 top management and the HR department seemed to view the rest of the staff as mere underlings. This understandably produced an atmosphere of discontent and resentment. It probably also undermined productivity. Rather than improving human relations HR seemed to sow discord within the company.
