Eggs are not ROTTEN, but management sure is. - Anonymous employee Vital Farms Employee Review

At Vital Farms, our values are to Be Humble, Lead with a Growth Mindset, Act Like an Owner, and Practice Empathy. We strive to create a culture that embodies these values in all that we do. This includes closely reviewing difficult feedback like what you’ve shared and taking the time to address these comments both internally and with you. We are working to add new benefits to our package (current benefits are listed here) and we actively seek feedback from our crew on offerings that would be meaningful to them. This work takes time, but we are committed to evolving our benefits offerings. We want our crewmembers to feel that they can build a career at Vital Farms. This includes providing clarity on roles/responsibilities, goal-setting, quarterly conversations to evaluate performance against these goals, and creating a path for crewmembers to advance within the organization. We always strive to communicate frequently and transparently. Though COVID has created an additional challenge, we have created several touchpoints to keep our crew connected to each other as well as all of the work taking place across the company. We want to be sure our crew feels informed and aligned to our growth strategy as an organization. Finally, professional development is important to us—we know we will not empower our crew to Lead with a Growth Mindset or Act Like an Owner if we do not provide resources to learn and grow as professionals. This year we launched our learning portal, Cluck University, which offers a wide range of online trainings all intended to help our crew broaden their perspective and learn new skills. For our crewmembers at Egg Central Station, we have dedicated time slots for associates to take training courses during their shift. We are offering this additional information not to be defensive, but to provide clarity on how we’re thinking about the many topics addressed in your post. We would like to hear more about your experience to understand how we can do better. Please reach out to Julia Bonaventure, our Sr Manager of Talent, if you’d like to share more.
