Great People, Not So Great Management - Corporate Office Utz Quality Foods Employee Review

*Utz likes to buy smaller companies, let go of a lot of those company's back office employees, and then the Utz staff must shoulder the added work with no additional staff or compensation. This has happened after multiple acquisitions. *Very little opportunity for advancement, depending on your department. Utz will not invest in adding more people for some departments that are stretched thin, but they will create new positions in other departments whenever they feel the need. *Merit-based raises do not exist at Utz, at least not in my department. You can be 100 times more productive than the weakest link on the team, but you both get the same percentage increase.
