Pros

Best company to start with if you’re looking to gain experience and you are dedicated to developing a strong work ethic. The company sets the bar in delivering an exceptional product to consumers on behalf of its employees; however the workload can be a bit too much at times, but if you’re flexible enough and stick with it you’re sure to gain personally from the experience. Winn also puts a high priority on onsite training. You can feel great satisfaction of simply putting in a hard days work. Benefits are great

Cons

Communication is a big issue. Whenever one of the bigwigs come on site people run around like their hair is on fire. Upper Management can put on a “good old boys club” pretense, you get berated or bullied by them and feel like a subordinate rather than a team member as if they suspect you’ll screw up on something. It’s fair to say the company is aware and is doing something about this. Also, along with a hefty workload, the company only promotes you by giving you more work rather than compensation. You will be told you’ll be doing one thing and later find out you’ll be doing a lot more and still getting paid the same. They go by the “we’ll look into paying you more only if you can show you can handle the workload” philosophy. The more they have new plans for you, the more you get the feeling Winn cares more about its bottom line than the employees that make it all happen.

Pros

Office staff was as kind as could be.

Cons

Toxic management and an extremely unhealthy work environment. I experienced retaliation and what felt like wrongful termination while serious misconduct by management was protected by higher leadership. Employee concerns were ignored, favoritism was obvious, and morale was consistently low. I would not recommend working here.
