Pros

I was able to learn a lot about the industry and develop skills that would prove useful later in my career. The workplace environment is "friendly" and there is a since of community within the company. HR is friendly and quick to respond to questions.

Cons

I was not given many challenging or meaningful tasks and my skills and abilities were not used. While there is a since of community, you have to be a part of the "club" to experience those benefits. If you fit their mold or type, the company is great, but if you don't, expect to feel like an outcast. Very little diversity. Most of the women and minorities hold lesser positions.

Pros

Easily the greatest company on the planet, and I truly mean that. They treat their employees very well. You will hear a lot about the “culture” and it is all true and a very positive part of working at B&G. You will not be just a number here - they will take a ton of time getting to know you. There are positives and negatives to that, which I will touch on. I do truly respect the founders of this company and this company’s values.

Cons

Was someone cult-like? When you work here, they want to be involved in all facets of your life, meaning they want you at every company happy hour, party/event, etc. and there will be lots of them. They don’t formally tell you this, but it will be held against you if you don’t attend regularly when it comes down to promotions, etc. There’s a strong clique mentally and tons of nepotism that is very uncommon to see to this degree industry wide. It is like being in the Greek system again, but as a working professional. If you don’t want the company to become your entire life and identity, I’d recommend against working here perhaps. Pay is much lower here than the industry standard (to the tune of 50-60k per role lower than industry standard) but a lot of that money goes to keeping up with the company culture in the forms of events, parties, etc, instead of directly into the paycheck.
