Terrible Management - Anonymous employee Munchery Employee Review

Don't work here, no matter what they're offering you. Munchery has a really abusive and classist company culture that demands you eat, live, and breathe Munchery 100% of the time, and then thank them for giving you such a great "opportunity" to be abused by them. Work-life balance there is a total joke. If you're not working yourself to the bone, then you're looked down on as lazy. They don't pay their employees enough, and the disparity between the way HQ departments (Customer Care, Engineering, etc.) are treated and the way all other departments (Operations, Culinary) are treated is ridiculously classist. If you don't work at HQ, you don't exist. That's not to say HQ has it much better; they're worked to the bone too. They just make a little more money. While I was there, anytime I socialized with people from other departments after work, everyone got completely hammered. In my opinion, it was because they hated their jobs so much, they needed to drink to forget how much they hated it (at least that's why i did!). That said, there is a lot of career opportunity there, but that's because the turnover is so high. People are constantly quitting but never replaced, so their work just gets redistributed to everyone else who's still there. My resume looked fantastic after I left because I did so much, but I was so burned out that it took me 2 solid weeks to recover from working there. I still kind of have PTSD about it months and months later.
