Pros

- Plated has an incredible culture. We champion each other and have a lot of fun together. Great events and food perks. - I've been at the company for a few years and have seen some ups and downs. It's not always the best but we seem to address the biggest issues eventually. - There are some very salty former employees posting very negative reviews. All I can say is, reader beware. People are often former employees for VERY good reasons.

Cons

- Because Plated is still a young company, we're still getting around to implementing a lot of the policies and processes that we really need. - We haven't always been the best at coaching people who aren't raising the bar because we haven't either had enough managers, or given managers enough time to manage. This is changing though. - Because we've been under resourced for so long, we work pretty long hours. Not everyone does, but you do if you're one of the people who gives a darn about contributing. Work/life balance could be better.

Pros

Good discounts, a free item every week through the app, hardship fund if approved, option for stocks

Cons

Not enough hours/pay to pay bills, odd hours makes it almost impossible to work a 2nd job

Pros

good pay rate, associate discount on groceries, mostly good techs

Cons

Zero work life balance, unless you live to work. "Training" screams of "I don't care". They brag about how GREAT their pharmacist training is, but that was 20 years ago, today their 4 week great training has been shoved into ONE week of on-the-job training with zero follow up or concern that you can't possibly learn all you need in that time, then they shove you out the door. Training during a cyberattack that has nothing working? That's fine, you don't get any extra time despite the fact that you can't learn on a non-working system. Management BS is deep, such as "we want our employees to know why decisions are made" then no way to ask and none of the low level managers has any freaking clue as to why changing an address in the database was changed from just overtyping it to a 5 minute process of logging into a poorly written website to update - and you thought we were bad about it before! And they ask for feedback an entire ONCE a year, with no way of providing it before.
