Pros

The company culture is very good with lots of social events for employees, and everyone is very friendly. The brands are all well known which looks good for your resume and the experience is also very good. I don’t see myself staying here forever but it’s a good stepping stone for moving up and working at a company you’d dream of working at. Also, if you do not like to work late this company is definitely for you. Obviously every company has busy times where you will need to stay an hour or two late, but most of the time everyone leaves on time.

Cons

Promotions are few and far between, and the family members get higher level positions even though they are not qualified and a lot of them don’t know what they are doing. Other employees often have to explain to them about why something needs to be approved by them because they don’t understand themselves which is alarming. I have been with the company for almost a year, and have been filling in for some people that were laid off 3 months ago. There is little to no possibility of promotion and still nobody has been hired to fill the position.

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.
