Pros

Really good pay in comparison to other grocery stores.

Cons

Management mishandles schedules, routinely understaffs shifts, and expects employees to do close to inhuman tasks, such as for cashiers to hit 45 items per minute as a goal while also being accurate, to break down 3 pallets an hour as a goal, among others. In a recent meeting, we were given the reason why we haven't received more staff, and the long and short of it is, we aren't efficient enough with the number of people we have on a given shift (we should have more,) therefore we aren't allowed to get more people, shouldn't it be the exact opposite? If you can deal with the anxiety of always worrying if you're going fast enough and constantly having to juggle a million things at once, then this is the job for you, and if it is, God bless you.
