Pros

If you’re looking for a job that provides a lot of work hours then it is reliable

Kontras

At Factor75 warehouse in Lake Zurich, IL. (Hello Fresh) there is a continuing bias and racist culture towards African American employees. I am a Mexican American who have been working there for 2years and I have witnessed most of the employees (including team leaders and agency representatives) mistreat the black employees, make racial slurs, and do all that they can to push the black employees out of that Hello Fresh location. It has been a issue that I have been witnessing for a long time at that Hello Fresh location. The staff with authority would let newly hired african Americans work for about a few weeks to make it appear as if there is diversity in that facility so it doesn’t look obvious. Then after about a few weeks a team leader or other employee with authority would make it appear as if the black employees aren’t adequate for the job and then get them fired. That way it doesn’t look obvious. I’ve actually had some team leaders and other staff with authority admit this, and then joke about it as if it’s funny. Many of the staff members are in cahoots with this practice and also make false complaints about some of the African American employees just to make them look bad, when in reality the complaints were lies. Which I am a witness to. As a Latino man I am ashamed of the behavior of my co-workers and I feel bad for the black employees there. Someone should do a serious investigation about this. The black employees can’t adequately communicate with their team leaders because most of the team leaders don’t adequately speak or understand English . And the last time I checked, a team leader has to be bilingual so he/she can communicate with the staff members on his team.

Pros

There are some genuinely nice people here but that is the only real positive. Even they are slowly leaving because the culture has become too toxic to stay in.

Kontras

Highly political culture with no real promotions. Leadership is insecure, ego driven, and more focused on protecting themselves than supporting employees. Micromanagement is constant, communication is poor, and priorities shift without explanation. Quiet layoffs happen with no transparency and usually protect the same small group. The new US marketing lead has made the culture even worse. He was difficult to work with before and has only become more problematic in a higher role. There is constant questioning, no clear vision, and nonstop steering that sends teams in circles. It is hard to understand how he keeps moving up the ladder despite repeated negative scores and consistent employee feedback. Independent analysis, including the Grizzly Research report, highlights similar issues such as unstable leadership, lack of direction, and a business that feels like it is declining. What the report describes matches what employees experience inside the company. Even if the CEO or HR choose to ignore these problems, they remain the reality employees deal with every day.
