Pros

The manager was extremely flexible with scheduling. The best thing about working here is getting paid every week. The overall manager was nice and would often ask how everyone was feeling about the job.

Cons

The manager and her sidekick were awful and extremely immature. It was obvious that her and her sidekick would be making fun of how I did things even though I'd only been working there for a day. She was one of those managers that didn't really train you but got upset when you made a mistake. She even got upset with me for cutting my hand on the tomato cutter even though several people had done it before. No self respecting adult should work here unless totally necessary. It would be the perfect job for a teenager.

Pros

Pay is decent for Knoxville Benefits are good Coworkers are the only thing holding this place together

Cons

The culture has taken a nosedive. The new CFO sets the tone, and that tone is basically “I don’t care.” That attitude trickles down through leadership and it shows in every decision being made. The return‑to‑office mandate is a perfect example. It’s not about productivity — it’s about control. People with long commutes are burning hours of their lives just to sit in the office on Zoom calls they used to take from home. Morale is the lowest it has ever been. Entire teams have been gutted because people are quitting faster than they can be replaced. The workload dumped on whoever stays is unsustainable. Communication from leadership is cold, dismissive, and out of touch. Feedback goes nowhere. Concerns are brushed off. Decisions are made with zero regard for how they impact employees. Constant reorganizations create chaos. Roles change overnight, expectations shift constantly, and employees are expected to absorb more and more with no support. The company used to feel people‑focused. Now it feels like a machine that’s grinding down the very people who keep it running.
