Pros

Great remote work options Decent benefits

Cons

UNFI does not seem to value their employees. With the crazy inflation over the past few years, we have not once seen a salary adjustment to help offset the cost of living, even when business was flourishing during the pandemic. But a few months ago there were massive layoffs of over 200 people, and they recently announced no merit increase. What was the point of all these quarterly reviews when we get no recognition in the end?
