Vantaggi

Occasionally they will leave food out so you can get free meals for later Testing new ideas for recipes often leads to CS being able to bring meals home to make and report back on Nice employee discount

Svantaggi

The work is relentless and thankless, not just on the customer end, but on the employer end Their immediate response to what they perceive as problems is to get more reports which customer care agents have to complete after every call and email and somehow keep their numbers up Advancement too tied to optional feedback from customers that are only filled out when they're heated and upset, making promotion from CS near impossible Location means you're either taking public transit in, which is hard for some of us, or paying large amounts for parking, most of which the company will not help with. They tell us that we are not allowed to cherry-pick emails to respond to, but when you go to higher ups asking how you can do better in terms of customer satisfaction, they will tell you to cherry-pick, forcing you to balance keeping your job and actually getting halfway decent results for job longevity. You cannot trade shifts with someone working different hours for one day with prior request or notice from both of you, no matter the emergency. Management is very deflective of criticism, and will not report when another is doing anything wrong.

Thank you for taking the time to write this review. Your employee experience at HelloFresh is important to us and we appreciate you sharing your feedback. We are proud to offer a generous employee discount to our Customer Care Representatives and access to WageWorks Commuter Benefits through our benefits provider so team members can use tax-free funds to pay for parking and public transportation. Our office is conveniently located in Newark, New Jersey and is a short walk from Newark Penn Station. We care a lot about developing our managers and currently all of our new managers, including managers from Customer Care, are participating in our Manager Learning Journey to grow their management skills. The opportunity for career growth is one of the things we strive to provide to our HelloFresh team members and we have developed a Career Ladder specifically to grow Customer Care Agents based on consistent high monthly performance and high quality customer interactions which is done in part by prioritizing each customer as they reach out. We also love to celebrate and appreciate our Customer Care teams: we have monthly Town Hall meetings to recognize our top performers and thank them not only with words, but with our actions, including hosting Customer Care Appreciation Week. Customer Care's attendance program allows for multiple options to cover any days when team members are unable to fulfill their schedule; it encourages the utilization of sick days, PTO and other leave in the case of an emergency. We take feedback seriously, and though we are sorry you are no longer employed with HelloFresh, we have shared this with your local HR representative.

Vantaggi

Flexible hybrid environment. In-office requirement is 50% of the month, but there is significant autonomy in how those days are scheduled (eg. you can decide to condense your in-office days the first 2 weeks of the month, and work remotely for the next 2 weeks).

Svantaggi

1- Compensation (particularly base salary) is significantly below market. Reliance on RSU as a major component of the compensation package is problematic, given the company’s stock has severely plummeted over the last 5 years (and continues to do so). 2- Professional development is virtually non-existent. Internal promotions are rare (even for top performers) and highly political. 3- Constant reorganizations and frequent layoffs. It is difficult to feel secure in your position when entire teams are being phased out every few months. 4- Toxic and fear-driven culture. There is a prevalent culture of backchannel feedback and a palpable, constant sense of fear regarding job security and retaliation. 5- Unsustainable business model, still. Service is overly reliant on discounting and promotions, which has negatively impacted brand perception and long-term customer value. Path to sustainable growth is unclear. Leadership also doesn't seem to know what to do, as they frequently pivot strategy, with new directions introduced every few months (if not every few weeks). This lack of consistency creates a sense of instability and leaves teams feeling as though the company lacks a cohesive, long-term vision. 6- Leadership tone. Leaders often lack respect for both employees and the customer base (it is common for them to make derogatory and insulting comments in business meetings about customers who cancel their service).
