Pros

At Vital Farms you have the opportunity to be close to the action. We are not some huge company where decisions are made a 15 layers above, we make decisions and drive the business forward as a team. It is absolutely messy sometimes, but when we work through the messiness together, to get to a better outcome it is an even more rewarding feeling.

Cons

No company is perfect, and as I read other reviews I can see how some may find the hard work it takes to build something significant and sustainable may be too hard, but I have found it to be very rewarding. The organization is actively seeking feedback from all crew members to continue to improve. There has been a significant shift in the demographics of our leadership team and a real focus on diversity in the organization. The leadership team, including the CEO, join the weekly shift huddle at ECS and the remote crew meeting each month to listen to and celebrate the crew.

Pros

Coworkers are great and free snacks

Cons

Management and office personnel. Couple good ones, but the rest need to move on. (This is referencing Springfield location)

Thanks for your feedback. We are constantly challenging ourselves to raise the standards of much more than food production. Our stakeholders, who include our passionate and mission-minded crew members, are the fabric of our business. We look at our employee experience holistically—from compensation and benefits such as equity ownership / 401K matching for every crew member to leadership development and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion initiatives which are actively underway. We also recognize that every team has distinct needs and have specific initiatives that are tailored to each function. For example, at Egg Central Station in Missouri, we have increased our starting wage, introduced both hiring and referral bonuses, launched a semester-long leadership development course, and implemented a safety shoe program, to name a few. Each of these initiatives were born from direct ideas and conversations from our crew. Of course, we recognize that we have room to grow from where we are today. Our intent will always be to prioritize the financial security, professional development, and overall well-being of every individual that works at Vital Farms. Our 2021 Engagement Survey will launch in Q4 to gather feedback and help us improve the experience of our crew. As always, the Talent Team has an open door and is always available to discuss specific crew member concerns directly.

Pros

The team, the product, the girls! I love who I get to work with on a daily basis. Everyone treats each other with respect and kindness. We all get the job done. Most of all, I trust my managers and Senior Leadership Team. Our Leaders are humble and knowledgeable, but most of all, they value our feedback. I feel very confident in the business because of our leadership team and their sound decision making skills.

Cons

With any job there are tough days. There are opportunities to improve systems throughout the business. I believe we are working to improve them, sometimes it's tougher depending on what the issue is.
