Great benefits, slightly below market pay

Infrastructure engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great benefits, both contractually defined and soft benefits. Employee-owned and operated. Hardworking and friendly coworkers

Cons

The pay rate is frequently below market rate and pay raises can be less than 1% per year. The company is in an aggressive growth period which can lead to some chaos in terms of project priority and workload.

Hey there coworker! I appreciate the work you do in keeping our digital workplace clean and secure. You're right - we DO have an amazing benefits package, especially considering our Employee Stock Ownership Plan that recently contributed 25% of annual base earnings towards eligible employees' retirement. I understand both the excitement and stress that comes with rapid growth and I hope you decide to stick with it and help KeHE continue to improve. Thanks again!

Hard to get promoted

Supply chain planner

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great Culture, people, leaders and managers.

Cons

It is very rare a senior position opens up to get promoted, even when they do they already know who is going to get the position. Not enough time off around the Holidays, not even MLK day off.

Thanks for the work you're doing as a Buyer at KeHE. Our Supply Chain department does promote a lot from within, but it can be tough when you feel "passed over" for a promotion into a senior level role. I encourage you to discuss with your Manager and HR Business Partner what steps you may need to take to be considered the next time a position opens up. I sincerely hope you're able to experience the career growth you're seeking while you're still at KeHE and show what you're made of. In the meantime, keep those suppliers happy and inventory levels where they should be! ;)
