Food is good. Values are rotten.

Pros

Coworkers are wonderful, interesting, hardworking people. Sometimes there’s free food. Dress code is casual.

Cons

The way SPUD treats its employees is completely out of keeping with its stated values. The CEO is a bully with mood swings—he vascilates between being absent, wandering around the office yelling (either in rage or excitement), and micromanaging things he knows nothing about. He gives unsolicited (and unwanted) shoulder rubs. He throws things. The food is good, but morale isn’t. It’s pretty much impossible to make meaningful change here. Depending on the department you work in, this may or may not impact your daily job. But it certainly makes it hard to do good work.

Pros

- Good Hours - Flexible..depending on which department - Moderate Pay Depending on who is you direct supervisor/manager, it can be a very pleasent place to work.

Cons

The current company is going down hill very quickly. They laid off a whole bunch of staff because they are now in the red after buying a giant new facility and then a investor pulled out. Avoided paying the laid off employees any compensation even though they were given about 1 day notice by saying it was a temporary lay off (attempt to save money through corporate means). The main issue is that they laid off everyone needed to operate the commissary/warehouse efficiently and told use to basically work harder. HR did not even take into consideration the repercussions of what they were doing. The result: - Lousy HR - Incompetent upper management - Avoidance of responsibilities - Low Morale - High Turn Over Rate - Untrustworthy Management

Pros

Company had many pros, including good company culture, reasonable workload, flexible hours, staff discount, and pleasant managers that left you feeling appreciated. Pay was only OK. Most if not all of these pros are gone since the company has been under new management.

Cons

New CEO and upper management made sweeping changes for the worse. Work environment has deteriorated significantly in the last ~6 months. Most are looking for new work.
