Pros

At least they seem to try. Truth is ; you can’t just decide your ethical and mark everyone as ethical. Being ethical means having real standards and morals. Society as a whole isn’t doing well in that department . So to truly be different from other companies takes a courage that most people don’t have within. A sheep can’t be a lion.

Cons

Unpredictable schedule and OT Very unhappy workers People with seniority manipulate and abuse new workers Thievery

Pros

Love working with collaborative, mission-driven, and passionate colleagues! It's exciting to work for such a beloved brand and the company and my peers are sincere in driving the missions forward.

Cons

Executive leadership does not trust the very smart and capable employees they have hired. There is a lot of micromanagement but also a lack of guidance and direction. Leadership is out of touch with the actual experience of employees and are quick to blame employees rather than look inward at their dysfunction.

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.
