Pros

There is an overall relaxed atmosphere in the region office. Dress code is casual - with an obvious adjustment for customers and/or vendor meetings.

Cons

Too many politics in the office with a focus on "who you know" or where you are from within the company. Favoritism is definitely a factor without regard to actual experience and knowledge. It creates an overall bad morale for the teams

Pros

There are some pros working with unfi they often have companies picnics and give out bonuses quarterly

Cons

You start at $20 hr but you won't have the check to show for it if you have a daily route. They keep taken from and adding to your run without most time you knowing anything about it until you get your invoices. And also if you don't mind doing dolly work this is the place for you. But the Equipment is the most pathetic the the industry I ever saw; they do not take care of their trucks and electric pallet Jack's you don't know from day to day what you gonna have. And if you get your equipment I tell you DO YOURSELF A FAVOR CHECK YOUR EQUIPMENT before leaving on your run if not you will have a very bad day. And also depending on your run you might touch nothing if you have dock deliveries but 90 percent of the time you be breaking down multiple pallets that can vary in sizes that can take some time to do. Oh yeah one more thing the trucks are govern at 62 mph; now if like slow trucks then it's won't be a problem for you

Pros

If you like overtime you'll get it here management has no idea how to hire, train and retain workers. Always understaffed so if you want to work an extra day and make that extra $200-300 then go ahead Medical benefit premiums are pretty cheap for the same UHC coverage that many other companies offer

Cons

Management talks to everyone like they're children or stupid. Just lack of basic respect. Supervisors here don't have an education, no real leadership skills or training they just happen to be the guys who got on their knees and slurped their way into a promotion
