Value oriented company, great benefits, good people. A positive corporate environment with room to grow as a whole person. Decent long-term benefits and knowledgeable senior leadership.

Nepotism is out of control....& Company still financially unstable

Financial analyst

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Very laid back culture - good place to work if you don't want to be pressured to perform or expand your skill set. Company is very active in philanthropy.

Cons

Nepotism is rampant, CEO himself drives the culture of nepotism. Slim chances of getting promoted in the corporate office if you don't go to CEOs church or have close family connections. Salary is significantly below Chicago/national average - don't expect competitive salary or any kind of significant annual merit increase Company is financially unstable - credit ratings have been improving through COVID sales bump but EBITDA is not sustainable/leverage is still unhealthy - virtually all growth has been through issuance of new debt

Pros

The culture at KeHE has been amazing and I love that aspect of the company. The employee owned aspect of the company has been truly cherry on top.

Cons

It has been a struggle getting promoted & I hope that in the long run, KeHE truly promotes people that are not only deserving but are experienced and have achieved above and beyond expectations.
