Pros

Started there in 2014. Startup culture with high growth vision, generous benefits, talented colleagues, an inspiring place to work where most people were happy to be there and felt good about the future.

Cons

Culture shift after merger with United Suppliers. They pulled back on the benefits that made talented people want to work there. Restricted vehicle use, stopped issuing cell phones, no more social events, no more alcohol on work trips: things that made people like working there. And that was before the layoffs started. Bit by bit they decimated the sales force and the research groups, so it kinda made you wonder when you would get the call. People stopped being so excited about their jobs. Winfield really hurt themselves when they rejected a partnership with their biggest nationwide retail customer, and that customer ended up going a different direction totally and finding a new supplier. I'm not sure the present leadership is doing as well as Policinski.

Pros

Flexible with working from home, opportunity for advancement, great retirement benefits, great boss

Cons

Flexible work space in theory is a great idea, but doesn't lend to building relationships with people that sit around you. People seem to have tunnel vision and don't even acknowledge your presence when you arrive, or leave - no hellos, no goodbyes. Quintessential Minnesota nice.
