Utterly Dysfunctional.

Pros

Great training, exposure to interesting global projects and knowledgeable associates. Company has impressive principles and a benevolent underpinning.

Cons

Incredibly dysfunctional leadership team (led by a family member) with no strategic vision. Nothing ever gets accomplished because the management team changes direction constantly. This division routinely hires very bright people and fires them in 6 - 12 months when the annual business reviews come up and senior management needs scapegoats.

Pros

-Flexible work policy if you are in the “in crowd” -Sparkling water machine & good coffee -No one is in the corporate office on Fridays.

Cons

Where do I start- -Not a diverse workforce, Many EEOC complaints to management and they have chosen to look the other way. -No ownership, vision or clear processes -Pat themselves on the back without looking at hard data to improve. They do not want to discuss gaps or opportunities. -Finance people are running HR. -The people that work hard are not promoted. Not a lot of opportunities for advancement within the HR space. -Your protected leave is not protected. Do not take it regardless of what they say! -Poor communication between departments. -Micromanagement -Leadership team is self seeking -Associate/Employee Relations is a joke to the supply business, along with the entire MyP&O model. -Varying levels of pay for the same role. -Only care about Gallup scores and Great Place to Work surveys -Instilling fear in Associates is how the MyP&O Leadership Team works -Family involvement is minimal, the business is rapidly growing and changing at a pace that will dissolve the unique culture. -Tenured associates are not valued. A long list of people have left the business either forced or voluntary. -Very reactionary, no strategic planning or change management strategy

Pros

The pay and benefits are good. Company vehicle with fuel card included. Health benefits, including dental, vision, and life insurance also included. 401k matching and pension too.

Cons

Get ready to work like a dog. You might be at a Kroger, Hy-Vee or Walmart and you will have to work 30-50 pound cases for an hour and a half. Some managers, especially in Walmart treat you awful. There are also seasons like Halloween or Christmas where you are expected to work long hours even on weekends and taking vacation days are frowned upon. There is no open dialogue. Do what you are told and keep your opinions to yourself. Otherwise you are not being a team player. Some territories are so huge that you might have to do overnight travel. There can be favoritism at times. You will see some folk get to try 2-3 different positions and you’re still “valued labor” for some stores. You also don’t get any personal fulfillment from the job. You are just moving cases around with other store employees who could care less if you were there or not. Once you get out of field sales it is like you are in a different world. Everyone is kind to you. People are intentional on integrating you to their teams. Some can even take their pets to work sometimes. Territory Sales Managers are the black sheep’s of the org. It’s really sad. Met some talented people and many were let go after the restructuring. Sone with 15 or even 30 years in.
