Pros and cons of working at Foodstuffs North Island

Pros

  • The people in my team and the supportive work environment.

  • The inclusive atmosphere in my team where everyone is supportive and willing to help each other.

  • The workplace and life balance is nice with Foodies being accommodating to family.

  • My team allows us to have flexible working hours, which gives a great work-life balance.

  • Beautiful office. Hot desk model. Lots of free parking. Has showers, wellness room, subsidized breakfast/lunches.

Cons

    • Commuting to the office is a struggle.

    • Lack of giving people a chance to role progress within the company.

    • The pay is not as good as I hoped. For being here 3 years I feel like I have added quite a bit of value to my team but it is not reflected in my pay.

    • While there is some variety in my work, often it can be monotonous.

    • Complexities around being an owner-operator model in a highly regulated environment
