Pros

The one star is for some of the amazingly dedicated, though grossly underpaid, colleagues I worked along side. Aside from them this company would get zero stars.

Cons

Hands down the worst company culture- complete with a total absence of leadership, support and open communication, trickling from the top down. Leadership- as a majority management lacks all the fundamental skill sets required of their positions along with guiding their department as a team to success- raising the question how were those individuals vetted to run those departments? Need a clear and informed response- hold your breath, because management does not have the time nor the aptitude to respond. Company structure- there is a hierarchical snobbery which fragments the company dynamic and goes unaddressed, resulting in a classic divide of the "haves" and the "have nots". Morale is very low overall. Operationally- the company makes impulsive and unsound decisions, leaving the mess for those to clean up that have little to no idea of what is actually going on operationally. If you are a fireman this is the perfect job for you, because putting out "fires" day after day with no solution is the norm.

Pros

exceptionally talented & hard working people genuinely interested in making an impact. Platform is strong and innovating quickly which makes the work engaging.

Cons

Hypergrowth comes with frequent shifts in priority. Often times priorities and direction can shift faster than teams can adjust.

Pros

It's been amazing to see Sprig grow from a little group of servers (including the founders) making 10 deliveries per night in a few neighborhoods to now serving all of San Francisco, Palo Alto, and expanding within Chicago. Throughout the process - all the ups and downs and trial and error - Sprig has taken every opportunity to make its product better for the customer and its office and kitchen environments better for the employee. It is great to see that Sprig wants its employees to grow and develop alongside the company. Getting to try the product (aka delicious food) and providing constructive feedback makes one feel, even in an office role, that you have an important say in the finished meals going out to the customers. I have loved my time with Sprig so far and cannot wait to see where we next go!

Cons

As someone who has been with Sprig from the beginning, I have to say that there are few shortcomings. Most of the "cons" that I've encountered while working at Sprig have been hiccups associated with a young company establishing itself. Some people unfamiliar with an environment of consistent change will find themselves uncomfortable with Sprig's atmosphere, but that is just part of the company culture: Constantly trying to develop and better itself.
