Pros

Employees are generally nice, including management and directors Pay is average

Cons

HR is very difficult to deal with. They limit employees hours to 37.5 instead of the normal 40, so be careful of that pay cut from normal jobs. Upper management is pretty bad, new CEO and HR leaders have caused a lot of issues. Went from 2 day hybrid working schedules to 4 days, without any discussion to employees. When Wakefern makes changes to anything, its usually posted on their website for people to leave comments. When this happened, it was posted but upper management decided to block comments from anyone, including employees. To my understanding, a lot of my fellow employees are looking elsewhere as well. CEO seems to only want to make a splash because he just started, so maybe doing this was his way of doing it? Please be wary of this company before applying on any level.

Pros

Stable and generally fair. Pretty good atmosphere and family type of vibe and some of leadership is clearly genuinely trying their best to make it nice to work here. good holiday schedule

Cons

4 days a week in office, non-negotiable, depending on team a lot of off hours work is pretty expected, including on-call obligations, growth is somewhat slow, especially in the first 2 years. No bonusing, not enough vacation time, pretty boring if you're on the young side but they are trying
