Great place to grow and learn, awesome culture
|
|
Simple Mills is a growing company and provides opportunities to grow individually. The culture is great and I have always felt like a valuable contributor to our growth and success.
|
With continuous growth comes moments of chaos and uncertainty. Being able to roll with quick pivots is crucial.

nasty people

the products are good and some people are ok
|
upper management are wolves in sheep's clothing. You are supposed to be focused on making tasty snacks, stop being completely insufferable.

Marketing Team

|
|
Great products. Micromanagement and declining culture rampant.
|
|
The team really strives to sell good products based on consumers needs and market dynamics. Coworkers are welcoming, competent and eager to work together towards a common goal.
|
Leadership down the line practices severe micromanagement. Great people are hired, however every decision and intention are raked over the coals. It's demotivating to even the most engaged team members. When sales decline the blame game begins and everyone is on edge and fearing layoffs. Teammates are regularly working late evenings and weekends just to keep up with the demands across all functions. That's not normal and not even appreciated.
The diversity here is questionable with recently a handful of POC abruptly leaving the organization. Why so many in such a condensed space of time? There is absolutely a "profile" that finds the most success here.

Evaluate if your leadership style and the culture of fear is really helping run a 1st class company or if it's actually doing more harm to the trajectory.

Simple Mills is an amazing place to work!! Super-fast paced, high growth company with the most amazing products and people!! I learn so much every day from my peers and leaders at this company. I am constantly challenged in a supportive way and continue to grow personally and professionally.

Would never recommend workin here
|
|
Coworkers, flexibility, half days on fridays
|
- Zero support for employees and their development
- EXTREMELY intense environment, it's like a breeding ground for anxiety/imposter syndrome
- Retention is so bad.. mass exodus feels like it's always happening, no one stays more than 2 years and its obvious why
- DEI is pathetic and just a buzzword, they are the first to speak out in situations to gain IG followers and create "task forces" but if you take a look at their employees it says it all... Maybe 1% of employees could be considered diverse so not sure how they can claim it as a priority
- Leadership is the biggest con and the reason why I would not tell my worst enemy to work here:
- Leaders are in a different world than the rest of the company with abstract expectations that are not well communicated. They will make you feel like an idiot if you cannot read their minds and perfection is absolutely expected, no room for mistakes/failure
- Leaders/managers cannot have "hard" or 'honest" conversations so its impossible to know where you stand
- Everyone walks on egg shells around them and it's VERY hierarchical

- Reevaluate yourselves before you lose even more talented people.
- Take a note from your own brand and treat employees as if they are humans and not pawns, consumers can detect the inauthenticity of your brand from a mile away

Great company
|
|
I think some of these reviews are people who haven't worked out in the company, it's not for everyone. Company that really cares about its people, and has good intentions. Seriously impressive people. High expectations of its people. People who care about our food system. Team has added a lot of senior leaders over the years. High growth company with a lot of opportunities. Unlimited PTO, great benefits.
|
High growth company (pro & con), requires a lot of hard work, sometimes long hours. Lots of change. Probably could earn more at a large company.
