Pros

- Passionate Coworkers who live and breathe JFFD - A great product in a disruptive industry. - Great discount on product - Pet Insurance - Networking opportunities with the dog community (pet adoption)

Cons

- EXTREMELY HIGH Turnover. Very, Very HIGH! - Constant shifts in the business strategy - Lack of inventory translated to a lot of headaches for both customers and employees. - Due to the high turnover, I've experienced 3 CEOs in 1 year and the current is on an interim basis. - Top heavy: A lot of senior leadership hires with very few folks to do the actual work. - Layoffs to some great employees have caused a lack of stability - It is not a great work/life balance and very poor planning that leads to last-minute requests with little to no time to do it soundly.

Pros

Mission is admirable. Product is backed by science as the healthiest pet food on the market. The people are great. You get to pet A LOT of dogs. The CEO really believes in the mission, as do the direct supervisors.

Cons

Company suffered closures due to the pandemic and severance with retail distribution partners, and opted to lay off a large number of staff with very little warning. Leadership and workforce tend to have a high rate of turnover. Pay is adequate for some, but not most, as the bonus structure is insufficient by most standards. It's easy to get bored if you don't have a lot of customers.
