All growing successful companies have pros and cons. I was a Blue Apron subscriber for 18 months and really enjoyed it and only had about three shipments during that time, where something wasn't right. I let them know, got credits.

Define "interesting."

It just looks like it's Blue Apron's turn in the barrel. Awhile ago it was amazon's. Why do people focus on what a successful business is doing right instead of what is going wrong?

Maybe because these business are not providing a safe work inviroment for their employees which is crucial. There is no excuse, but greed.

I hope if the working environment is truly unsafe, OSHA would be on top of it.

If I was working in what I felt was an unsafe environment, I'd find another job.

If I wasn't trained and certified or whatever to drive a forklift, I wouldn't drive one.

OSHA SMOSHA, some one has to call it to their attention first or something bad has to happen before they get involved. People who agree to work in that type of environment really need the job, it must be nice to have the luxury of walking away from a job.
