Pros

Company grew both organically and through acquisitions. Company actively pursued developing new products on both the consumer and foodservice sides of the business. Finding and developing new products that were sustainable and used biodegradable materials was a priority.

Cons

Growth on the consumer side seemed capped; only a limited number of potential new customers (Dollar General, for example) were available and lack of manufacturing capacity and meeting customer's price point didn't allow to win the DG business. It remains to be seen if year over year growth can meet the expectations of the private equity owners. Lack of resourcefulness among many employees. Many struggled to do/try things that were new to them.

Pros

Great Pay, Great Benefits, you can move up fast just got to put your mind to it and take in and learn everything you can and work hard. They have a union you get the option to be apart of or not. Management is great! They listen and check in with you to make sure you have everything you need to do your job successfully and safely. You get trained for 6 plus weeks depending on department and all the trainers have years of experience and time at this workplace and they are patient and have great attitudes and are willing to explain and make sure you understand what is needed from you as an employee. Ask questions no question is a dumb question. Even if you’ve already asked. The want to make sure you understand everything. Very organized and clean warehouse. Plenty of working room.

Cons

Work long hours during busy season
