Pros

Great if you are entry level and hungry to learn and gain exposure to some really great brands.

Cons

The family creates a fear based toxic work culture where everyone is too afraid to say or express anything that contradicts what the family is saying. No work life balance, late hours are expected by senior leadership and most people do it because they are young and are hungry, the company defiantly takes advantage of that. If you are a looking for a more senior level role here, I suggest to look else where. There is a really low-moral with in the company, people are mostly nice, but it is not well managed from the top. The comments on nepotism and diversity are pretty accurate. They do make you clock in and out if you're a salary employee on a tracking app, just one of many examples on how the family mistrusts and micromanages it's employees. Comments on the "all lives matter" email is also true, the company is very out of touch in a lot of ways.

Pros

The holiday party. Oh wait, it’s on a Tuesday or Wednesday so no one can truly enjoy themselves, so nevermind! Absolutely no pros.

Cons

If I could change one thing in my life, it would be working at Haddad Brands. Coming straight out of college and it being your first job, you truly have no idea how warped working there is. The delusion and greed of the family should be studied-the workload and how they treat their employees is inhumane and honestly disgusting. A crash course is the hours are 8:30-5:30-giving them an extra hour of your life for absolutely no reason. You’re looked down upon if you take a break or step out, even just for a minute. You sit in a jail cell, with no windows, for 9 hours a day-elbow to elbow with the person next to you-and cameras watching and tracking your every move. The Haddads actively work to fire people (don’t be mistaken I wasn’t one of those people-getting a new job was probably one of the best days of my life)-who they consider to be ‘C Class Players’ which is anyone who doesn’t dedicate blood, sweat, tears and overtime to them. All you do is make them money but when it comes time for raises, promotions, benefits etc., they can’t put their money where their mouth is. The work is genuinely not even close to manageable-no matter how hard you work-and everything is under a microscope and scrutiny. The work from home days that have now dwindled into basically zero is laughable and there is no work life balance whatsoever. Just know that if you work at Haddad, you will be worked like a dog-no ifs, ands or buts.
