Pros

There really isn't much to say here. All I can really say is I have made some life long friends that I will miss working with.

Cons

Very expensive benefit packages. Out of pocket cost is not affordable. Management is not very involved with their staff and play favorites. UNFI forces their employees to volunteer each year but only with opportunities that makes them look good in the community. If something is important to you but it won't make UNFI look good you can't volunteer. If you don't volunteer at least 8 hours then there is no raise. There are so many negatives here but the worst part is the salaries are very low. I wasn't aware of the fact that I was extremely under paid until I left the company and saw what others were offering.
