Pros

Fast paced and promotes fairly quickly given you have the right attitude and discipline to deal with the demanding physical workload. Most associates are very friendly and willing to lend a hand. Paid break. The pay is can be better than other grocery stores with pretty good benefits. Leaders are supportive (at least in my time work here)

Cons

Very physically demanding throughout the entire shift (except break time). You will be moving just about nonstop. The store will almost always feel busy considering the company’s business model runs on thin payroll margins. 3 to 4 employees in the store at any given time MAX. Maybe 5 depending on the market and sales volume of a store. District managers are usually out of touch with the day to day and nuances that come from working day to day in the store; They are usually hired on right out of college with this being their first real job for some.

Pros

Decent competitive pay, $25.25 an hour

Cons

Quite a list of negatives.... 1 minute late your written up. 3 write ups and your fired. Get ready to work 11-12hr days on the regular. There are almost no normal work days. You'll be struggling to pick, while overnight receiving is behind and hasn't put product away yet. Horrendous management and turn over is incredible. Most employees don't make it past 3-6 months. Rate is always going up, but the staff is always fresh and lacking training. This makes it hard for employees to pick rate easily, The slower pickers create traffic that sometimes cannot be avoided. I was a top picker at this company for 6 months straight, there is zero incentive for hard work however. No pay increases etc. Terrible place to work and incredibly stressful environment.
