Pros

The culture of the company and people are wonderful. It is a fun place to work. Very flexible in work policies depending on job.

Cons

The management talks about people being their greatest asset. Yet, they wont share the success of the company with the employee. 18000+ employees, yet only 300+ (and an equity company) with an ownership stake. There is no defined path to get to the ownership level and when you ask they won't give you an answer. It appears as a good ole boy network to become an owner. No clear career pathing or succession planning. Retirement program is woefully inadequate.

Pros

Flexibility Opportunity to learn the grocery business and learn about the various products and manufactures A job is a job is a job. Gain some store knowledge and get out if you can find something else.

Cons

Alot of con's 1- Training is poor and that leads to failure 2- they watch over you like a mother watches over her child 3- milage is next to nothing considering gas is 3.59 a gallon 04 04 2011 and going up 4- what is with those Audits from Nestle...who can figure them out 5-There is a high turn over, when I started in spring of 2010 a few others lasted a couple of weeks then quit. What does that tell you.......If you do something wrong there quick to write you up instead of calling you or meeting in a store and going over it first.....Supermarkets often do not cooperate when it comes to cutting in new items. Those small hand helds with the text so tiny I otfen had to call in and get tech support, the HH froze up many many times......
