Pros

Above average compensation (for salaried employees), great benefits and perks, high quality products, owners that truely do care about the business and employees

Cons

- ZERO work-life balance, people come in early, stay late, and take work home -IT infrastructure is awful, they are trying to implement SAP but in the meantime everything is broken and little is being done to fix it because SAP is supposed to make everything better, we just have to be patient! - Sales makes outrageous demands that everyone else has to bend over backwards to accommodate because top priority is to "service our customers", with no consideration for how it will impact other departments - Little to no processes or documentation outside of Health & Safety, and there is major resistance to establish rules, "everything changes so quickly around here, what's the point?" - Lots of finger-pointing and passing-the-buck when things go wrong, which is all the time

Thank you for your review of FGF. The investments in our technology infrastructure as we implement SAP is an important transition that will allow us to build scale as we continue to grow. We are pleased to hear you enjoy our products and appreciate our compensation approach at FGF. Thanks again for your feedback.

Pros

Good pay and benefits. Flexible hybrid work.

Cons

Constant layoffs. I was laid off 7 months after starting, while on a business trip in a Kroger parking lot, with no explanation given. Layoff process was pathetic, no communication and had to threaten a lawyer to receive my severance payout. American politics are often discussed by Canadian upper management. Foul, unprofessional language is frequently used. Very unprofessional, unstable work environment. I would recommend looking anywhere else for employment.
