Pros

Honest about where their food comes from Admirable company vision and mission Friendly environment

Cons

If you're shy or have a naturally "sad" looking face, you have to SLAP on a smile. If you look sad for at least a day of work, you'll probably be fired. They expect 24/7 enthusiasm and smiles. Even if you're just deep-in-thought processing and absorbing all the information, put a smile or enthusiastic expression on your face. You're expected to know everything after a day of training. If they say you can watch and listen or take a hands-on approach to learning, that is a lie. Absorb as much information as you can, and start diving in immediately.

Pros

Lots of flexibility and good company benefits. Cool office space and good people. The company wants you to learn more and give you the opportunity to do so.

Cons

In the corporate space, very limited career growth opportunities. Current manager micromanages but not terribly. Company performance stinks and leadership does not want to take accountability.
