Be careful- not all is as it seems - Anonymous employee The Fresh Collective Employee Review

Some great colleagues at the team level who try their best in a challenging environment.

Leadership lacks clear direction and strategic capability, which has had a noticeable impact on overall business performance and morale. There is little to no investment in employees, with limited benefits and no meaningful support structures in place. Career progression opportunities are minimal, making it difficult to see a long-term future within the company. The product offering feels stagnant, with a lack of innovation and creativity, particularly in recent times. Decisions from top level leadership (CEO, Commercial Manager,COO) often seem reactive rather than well thought-out, contributing to ongoing instability. Employee wellbeing does not appear to be a priority, and policies that support staff through important life stages, like paid parental leave, are denied.

I have been with The Fresh Collective for 8 months in head office. I see exactly the opposite of what the last review has stated. Not true. If the employee is so disgruntled maybe they should speak to the leadership. Suggest what could be better. Every compamny needs to concentrate on financials in the current climate. It would be stupid not to. I have seen employees suffering from adverse personnel issues that the company has been very supportive of. I feel the environment at the company is excellent. I have been looked after and see the same happening at the company with a lot of others. We even get free lunch everyday that is done family style. We can also work from home one day a week.

More can be done with employee benefits.
