Pros

Fast paced, ambitious, future focused. It's a fast growing business, so never boring. Generally a nice bunch of people to work with.

Cons

The business pitches itself as purpose driven with a mission to reduce plastic pollution. However this is really the extent of where their "purpose". Deliveries are done using gig economy drivers with no training and minimum possible level of pay. They're under valued and you could say exploited. Deliveries are done in cheap diesel vans, so no environmental concern outside of plastic. The concern for plastic doesn't really extend any further to tackling the climate crisis. Their focus is on expansion at any cost. They haven't got the basics right so are delivering very poor customer experience whilst working the staff into the ground. Leadership team are overly focused on growth as this is what drives the business value and inflates their share value for an early and rich exit, rather than building something sustainable, ethical and environmental.
