Pros

- You will learn a lot, not because there's a great training program or engaged management when you're hired but because you're literally thrown into the deep end and expected to swim from the first day.

Cons

Literally everything: - LAUGHABLY low salaries, so far below industry standard and a JOKE for NYC - Terrible and expensive benefits - No overtime, but expected to work late every night and come in early every day - Little to no perks/appreciation from upper management - Raises are non-existent and promotions are title changes with barely any pay boost - offices are poorly designed with little storage and people are on top of each other, you will literally brush elbows with the person next to you -HR is TERRIBLE, and it doesn't surprise me at all that they would make a bunch of fake positive reviews - If there's a positive review on here, it's fake - HUGE turnover rate, had at least 2 people leave every single month I worked there - Useless meetings - Disgusting quarterly meetings where the ongoing success of the company is discussed while at the same time you get told that there's not enough money to give you a raise this year. BS - HR LITERALLY PAID FOR POSITIVE REVIEW ON THIS SITE

Pros

The holiday party. Oh wait, it’s on a Tuesday or Wednesday so no one can truly enjoy themselves, so nevermind! Absolutely no pros.

Cons

If I could change one thing in my life, it would be working at Haddad Brands. Coming straight out of college and it being your first job, you truly have no idea how warped working there is. The delusion and greed of the family should be studied-the workload and how they treat their employees is inhumane and honestly disgusting. A crash course is the hours are 8:30-5:30-giving them an extra hour of your life for absolutely no reason. You’re looked down upon if you take a break or step out, even just for a minute. You sit in a jail cell, with no windows, for 9 hours a day-elbow to elbow with the person next to you-and cameras watching and tracking your every move. The Haddads actively work to fire people (don’t be mistaken I wasn’t one of those people-getting a new job was probably one of the best days of my life)-who they consider to be ‘C Class Players’ which is anyone who doesn’t dedicate blood, sweat, tears and overtime to them. All you do is make them money but when it comes time for raises, promotions, benefits etc., they can’t put their money where their mouth is. The work is genuinely not even close to manageable-no matter how hard you work-and everything is under a microscope and scrutiny. The work from home days that have now dwindled into basically zero is laughable and there is no work life balance whatsoever. Just know that if you work at Haddad, you will be worked like a dog-no ifs, ands or buts.
