Pros

Free snacks Leadership is smart (maybe too smart for their own good) Employees are kind and dedicated

Cons

This is the first company I’ve worked at where neither the customer nor the employees are ever correct. The only opinions that matter here are those of the founders. Rarely are employee voices listened to and even more rarely do we seem to take customer opinions into consideration. If it’s not good for leadership, it’s not good for anyone. Everyone is just a $$ and treated as such. Universal Yums pretends to be a modern workplace, but in reality it is backwards. Benefits are primitive. No paid parental leave. No flexible working schedule (yes, it’s hybrid but they mandate the days you must be in the office). Bonus is smoke and mirrors. It’s granted based on unrealistic goals that are impossible to meet. They will try to keep you with high base compensation, and in return make you work long, unrelenting hours. People are publicly shamed here and discouraged from asking questions that don’t agree with leadership’s perspective.

Pros

Free snacks that taste odd

Cons

Company sells you on the idea that they are open for feedback. But even the executives aren’t listened to. This is the culture that starts at the top and works it’s way through the entire company. The CEO is never wrong, and if you challenge he will belittle you in front of people. Forget thinking about getting a bonus. As an executive, it is designed for no one to be able to attain.

Pros

Free snacks Some nice coworkers

Cons

Where to even begin. This company is so backwards and poorly run it's a wonder they're still in business. Here are some highlights: Owners are arrogant hipsters who think they are never wrong, and act like babies when someone challenges their ideas, yet pretty much all of their "innovations" have crashed and burned in epic fashion. Technology is super primative. There is no dedicated IT team, they use basic Gmail for emails and the Internet in the office is always going out. The company seems to be constantly under the threat of lawsuit by former executives who were discriminated against by the owners. When not meeting with attorneys regarding those lawsuits, HR is often pulled into closer door meetings by ownership to justify making employees look bad (they seem to have it out for pregnant women in particular), slash company benefits or do ridiculous stuff like setting up a new office for one of the owners. All while dealing with skeevy and inappropriate remarks from leadership on a constant basis. There's no security, people literally walk in off the street on a regular basis, which is not only a safety issue but also an issue of food safety given that there's no barrier to entry to the snack packing areas.
