Pros

If you really NEED a job. The money can be fair.

Cons

I spent 3+ years as a driver at the Lancaster, TX D.C. It's almost unbelievable how a company can grow as large as UNFI with the management they have, especially in Lancaster. I have many years in transport management and felt that I could have made a difference, if nothing more than employee morale. Certainly, 98% of the people on staff in transportation would be gone tomorrow for a lateral exchange. Working environment is very institutionalized. It has an extremely cold feel about it.

Pros

Friendly associates, Excellent benefits and a Green Company

Cons

No exception policies for warehouse workers are used for internal office staff. Management has lost its connection with staff and are less concerned with a happy staff then they are making numbers and bonuses.

Constantly Shrinking Company with a Revolving Door of Senior Management

Business Outlook

Pros

I can not think of a Pro.

Cons

Never Ending Layoffs, at least once a year. Shrinking sales every year for the past 6 years. Senior Management turnover is very high. Have cut everything possible in order to save costs - Even cut out supplying cups or napkins in break rooms. Eliminated Dividends, Salary Increases, 401K contributions last year. Shrinking IT Organization with no career opportunities. Could go on and on.
