Pros

Management was pretty lax. They are open to hire pretty much anyone who can pass a drug test regardless of work ethic or arrest history. They tout the fact that they are a family oriented business, and do have some perks like (online) college tuition help, though you aren't eligible till after a year of employment. They also have profit sharing, but it doesn't kick in till after a year of employment as well.

Cons

Not much training. low pay, horrendous hours, twelve + hour days in the summer and fall. Lack of career opportunities. Turnover is in the Stratosphere.

Pros

Selling fresh fruits and vegetables is fun! ESOP is just the dangling of the carrot. Seems to be the new corporate buzz word.

Cons

No culture or core values. And yes, what makes them amazing is the people! But at which company is that not the case? Inconsistent job titles, responsibilities, systems and disciplinary actions across all divisions in the company. No transparency or explanations as to why things are the way they are. Slow to adapt to changing technology landscape. Family company, but are all the in-laws and cousins the right fit for all the roles? They might be the largest private wholesaler on the West Coast but that hasn't created any purchasing power to be used as an advantage. With Co-CEO's, half divisions run one way, the others another way. Very fragmented structure. HR is not there to support employees, purely to protect senior staff/executives and company. "Too many Chiefs, not enough Indians."
