Stear Clear - Anonymous employee Charlie’s Produce Employee Review

People are friendly, management team makes great decisions for what is best for the company and it's employees long term. Great place to build a retirement. Great growth within the company.

No cons that I can think of.

Selling fresh fruits and vegetables is fun! ESOP is just the dangling of the carrot. Seems to be the new corporate buzz word.

No culture or core values. And yes, what makes them amazing is the people! But at which company is that not the case? Inconsistent job titles, responsibilities, systems and disciplinary actions across all divisions in the company. No transparency or explanations as to why things are the way they are. Slow to adapt to changing technology landscape. Family company, but are all the in-laws and cousins the right fit for all the roles? They might be the largest private wholesaler on the West Coast but that hasn't created any purchasing power to be used as an advantage. With Co-CEO's, half divisions run one way, the others another way. Very fragmented structure. HR is not there to support employees, purely to protect senior staff/executives and company. "Too many Chiefs, not enough Indians."
