Pros

Job security, remote work, pay is okay.

Cons

Zero work/life balance - very normal to work 70-80 hours a week, with quite a few 30 hour shifts. No clear direction from directors and above. When asked a director which of four large tasks was the highest priority, the response was "all of them." Extremely reactive to a fault as opposed to planning for challenges. Would get called at all hours of the day and night regardless if on PTO or even in the hospital on medical leave. Miserable company with miserable people working there.

Pros

UNFI strivers to promote within. It's a great company for advancement and to gain experience in a variety of different areas of the business. No two days are ever the same, and the fast pace keeps it interesting along the way.

Cons

The company is working to better prioritize projects across the company to ensure everyone is holding hands and working toward the same goal.

Business Outlook

Pros

The only thing I can point out is that many employees in sales can work remotely. Working for UNFI gives you good experience as a stepping stone to a better career somewhere else.

Cons

Very little support from management.the pay is below in comparison to other companies. Health benefits have got worse over the years. Co pays keep going higher. Management sends out surveys to employees, however, the company does not listen to or try and fix some of the issues that folks bring up in the surveys. The transportation dept and is run awful, too many complaints from customers about late deliveries and nothing EVER get fixed.
