Pros

The have lost sight of who they are. There are no pros

Cons

The company has unfair hiring practices. They claim to care about visions and values but have lost sight of their visions and values. They will tell you what they think you want to hear. They will keep dangling that carrot in front of your face and you will never reach it.

UNFI Rich in Profits, Poor in Service and Store Support

Pros

Good profit sharing, decent benefits, good team meetings and training with brokers and manufacture reps when you seek it out.

Cons

Executive Level management annually beat their chests bragging 'bout year over year channel sales growth and increasing shareholder profits....despite all this growth each year. we have not increased the size of our customer service, sales, operations and marketing teams at all instead they pile it on employee workloads with a take-it-or leave-it smirk.... We've lost several key account chains by ignoring requests from Store Executives, Owners, Myself and other Veteran Territory Mangers of repeated service issues. When will UNFI Executives realize we need to stop sitting on profits and invest in the company and our stores by hiring additional sales, customer service and store support members? Operations teams from routing, inventory control, credit department and many of our recently hired drivers really act as if they don't care and do not believe in customer service?

Pros

Some jobs have decent pay Some people are genuine

Cons

Nobody likes working here. Most people are just showing up to collect a paycheck Very old/ unhealthy work force Departments and employees do not collaborate - everyone has their own agenda HR is useless and doesn't care ( deals with issues by re-directing you or just flat out ignoring you) Old building A lot of office politics
