Pros

This was once a great place to work. Good benefits, staff and colleagues are mostly great people. Plenty of career lifers with 20+ years at Wakefern. That is no longer the case.

Cons

- New management is way out of touch. - Tech division has no direction. Upper management alludes to a “plan”, but only provide vague details, devoid of any real substance. - Work/Life balance is the worst it’s ever been. - Company is pushing new “culture” that no one is asking for. Lots of fluff and buzz words that mean absolutely nothing to people. - There’s an aging workforce, nearing retirement age, with no plans in place for knowledge transfer or replacement. - No urgency from management to hire and replace associates who have left, leaving remaining staff to pick up the pieces. - Don’t even think about promotions or raises.

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
