Pros

-Fully remote -Fellow recruiters really care about each other and help one another -The company is good overall, (but our department is lacking solid leadership) -Lots of company communications via emails; I enjoy learning about what various departments, locations, etc. are experiencing and like the culture stories -Opportunity to work onsite in Rosemont if you live in the area (although I wish it weren't required, as sometimes I get distracted by others when working in the office).

Cons

-TA has almost zero budget for employee rewards/engagement. The only item I’ve ever received from US Foods was a mug when I started several years ago. -The 2% raise after a record year was offensive to the team, along with a non-competitive base pay already. -For years, the team has made it extremely clear to leadership that there is hardly any opportunity for advancement. Leadership has, in-turn, given us a bunch of projects that overwhelm our workloads and burn us out even faster than we already are and say it’s for development. We want the hope of advancement and not just development with no chance of moving up. -Health benefits are poor for a company this size and we do not have an internal benefits department, making it so difficult to get questions answered. -Managers are breathing down our necks on everything we do. There has been a rapid and obvious shift in the culture that has damaged the trust we had with our leaders. This change in culture has hindered creativity, silenced team members who used to share feedback freely, and reduced employee engagement. -Robotic work; we used to be asked for our feedback on decisions, ideas, processes, etc.; the culture has become “do what you’re told” and questioning decisions will be viewed as insubordination. -Leaders give bad counsel to subordinates, which puts us at risk. You get conflicting responses to questions that should have black and white answers. Many of us don’t ask our managers for guidance on issues anymore because we know they’re just guessing and not seeking out the right answer.

Pros

Used to be a great place with an amazing culture. Then, Dave Flitman our CEO came along and destroyed everything. The level of greed and hidden agendas is crazy. New comp plan is a complete joke and this place is literally on fire. The culture is toxic and nobody is happy here anymore. There will be a ton of territory managers that will leave. I def am one who already is gone. Complete shame as this was a great place for a good amount of time.

Cons

Culture Comp plan Lack of transparency Greed Only care about price of the stock
