FreshDirect reviews

Where do I begin? Tis company offered great pay and huge bonus if hit goals. I worked for an amazing organizations and FD lured away with talk of a new corporate location, going public and a large salary/bonus. I've been with may large Fortune 100 companies and FD had a plan to learn what I knew and then discard me. They hired me to advise and change the business. To make positive change. Then, when I went ot make change for employees and the good of the company, was told that none of it could happen. They hired me for one discipline which I am extremely skilled at and then after joining, became immersed in website building, not my core skill set. 1.The company has been promising going public and still has not after many years. When asking VP level associates, they all agree they do not think it will ever go public. 2. They have been working on the new location for the company in NYC for years and are still not in it yet. 3. Senior leadership have no idea about different business segments and cannot wrap their arms around anything other than retail sales and CPG. 4. This is not a stable company and everyone has to work extrememly hard and long hours. If you don't answer emails on the weekends or do work on weekends, then forget working here. 5. No support from senior leadership 6. Lots of backstabbing and employee turnover 7. Bad company culture and noone is senior leadership cares.

Senior management is almost entirely Turkish and keep to themselves which creates a major divide between cultures. The company feels as if it is divided between them and all the other nationalities/backgrounds which is very unfortunate. Not a company with a founder involved but operates with startup energy. Lack of culture and communication, lack of transparency into company goals and strategy. No hybrid work options for most corporate staff. FreshDirect lacks leadership and it shows.
