Pros

Freshpet has excellent insurance, and is growing rapidly. The product IS amazing and worth being proud of. The employees are excellent people to work with, and driven to do the best they can.

Cons

Employees are locked into systematic abuse from management. The CEO visited and offered $100 bills to anyone that would do circus tricks. "Optional" overtime was forced on a couple employees who could not come in due to only finding out they had to work the weekend on thursday. They already had plans! The entire HR system is designed to turn people over and degrade employees. HR has designed a system of points to punish people for everything. Favoritism runs rampant with the supervisors and management. I found out that I was lied to no less than 15 times my first day by my supervisor. I was left waiting for 2 hours before anyone would even talk to me and give me my introduction. Fire drills were never mentioned in the entire time I was employed. I was punished for the behavior of someone else, nobody was interested in finding the truth of the matter, only assigning guilt. This is the worst place I have EVER worked.

Pros

The co-workers are great to work with as they have to deal with the same issues. The pay isn't bad and the health insurance is good also.

Cons

What life - you are always at work and along with that comes longs hours with weekends. And as far as the rest, you can read below.

Pros

Free food, decent pay, decent benefits, attendance and production goal bonuses.

Cons

Freshpet has a horrible culture. They bait and switch you by interviewing and touring your in their state of the art plant and then without warning put you in their original old plant (that you are never toured through and have no idea what you are signing up for) that is heavy lifting, and old broken down machines. It is truly the unsafest place I have ever worked, with injuries happening daily. And if you get hurt even by no fault Of your own they will demand you still come to work and sit there for 12 hours doing nothing then finally they will fire you. The bullying is disgusting like a highschool. Watched them break down and beat up many associates. HR is a joke they see and absolutely know of the horrific ways some of their employees are being bullied and do nothing to help or remedy the situation. Their supervisors are disgusting if you like sexual harassment, and egotistical jerks work Day2 at Plant 1 there is no shortage of abuse there. Further more should you be fired they will steal your personal items from your locker. Beware of this company.
