Pros
World Pantry is a great place for career growth and quick impact. It is a growing company that offers opportunities to learn and take on greater responsibilities. It was a pretty ideal starting place for my career. The main benefits I saw: - Smart and invested coworkers: People have a wide range of experience across industries, starting many interesting and challenging discussions. These people care! - Fast paced workplace: Best described as a "test and learn" environment, where you can roll out a program or new idea and see if it works. - Personal growth: If an area in your field interests you, there's a good chance you can explore that pathway at World Pantry. - Small team: This is not a large, impersonal organization. Your odds of sitting next to a founder or a new employee are about equal. - Smart leadership: I haven't worked at a place where the leadership is as unified or on point as WP's.
Cons
- Fast pace: The teams are small and there is a lot to do. It takes a while to get in the flow and it's not for everyone. - Long hours: People are routinely putting in 45-55 hrs/week. - Systems: Some of the programs/solutions used were either outdated or frustrating to use. - Compensation was not great relative to the market.
