Pros

the opportunity for 'flexibility' in scheduling but only in the summer. an return to office policy that is a sham, stay home gaining additional responsibilities without additional compensation 401k 5% match

Cons

Below market pay. limited the 'merit' based yearly raise regardless of performance, less than inflation while company has record performance. High turnover in leadership and associates leads to dysfunctional working teams and departments, and to new hires being paid more than long term employees. lack of meaningful company programs and incentives to reward / attract employees.

Thank you for your feedback. There's a lot to unpack here, but we appreciate that you took the time to provide your perspective. While some of your comments are valid -- we didn't adjust merit based on inflation because merit was never meant to address inflation, it's a reward for performance -- some of the things you said don't reflect the general approach PDL has for talent or workplace culture. Specifically, we truly value both our employees who have been a part of the success of this organization from day 1 as well as new talent coming into the organization. We conduct internal and external market data reviews throughout the year to ensure we are as competitive in our compensation packages as we can be for both new hires and existing employees. Also while all companies have been impacted in different ways by “The Great Resignation” we are trending lower in turnover than the industry average. Lastly, in regards to our hybrid return to office guidelines, we have empowered each function to adopt the work approach that works best for their area of the business and is reflective of the many differences in our business. We truly want to learn more about the experience you're having and what we can do to improve it. If you are willing to share more and discuss any further questions or concerns you have we would encourage you to reach out to Sarah Dudan, the HR Business Partner for the Technology team.

Remember, it's a grocer not a native tech company

Pros

Lots of nice people and most employees can maintain a much better work-life balance than at FAANG or a startup. You can build big new things with funding from a large parent company. You can have a good experience working here.

Cons

Don't come into the organization expecting it to operate like a native tech company or a standalone retailer. The work Ahold Delhaize is trying to do through Peapod Digital Labs is counter-cultural for the grocery industry, but PDL's customers are a group of traditional grocery store brands who are used to calling the shots for their respective businesses. This can lead to sub-optimization of the e-commerce platform at the whim of a specific brick-and-mortar leader, product decisions that might seem baffling in a stand-alone tech company, and ways of operating that are not agile (think slow/opaque decision-making and waterfall/monolithic execution). Key context: the most senior leaders in PDL are long-time parent company insiders.

Pros

The Foodlion grocery brand does a ton of good for the community so volunteering with them was great.

Cons

Very FEW people of color, discrimination, hostile work environment, too much finger pointing for blame for EVERYTHING, meetings about scheduling meetings, and constantly implementing systems without training or buyin. This is honestly the worst company I've ever worked for. I still have panic attacks over working here.
