Pros

Lots of overtime over the Holidays. Flexible hours makes it easy to go to school. They do offer a training program in grocery management. Co-workers are easy to get along with.

Cons

Healthcare is not cheap if only part-time. Sick pay should be different then Vacation pay. Upper management gets moved around alot!

Pros

None. There are no positive aspects that come with working for this particular company unless perhaps you work at corporate, hold a higher management position and or are related to someone who holds a higher management position.

Cons

Company does not do a good job at keeping associates safe. Management fails consistently at executing their respective jobs and much of the responsibility falls heavily on associates who hold lower positions. Company is also extremely racist. Management will readily hire African Americans but few are promoted to management positions and even those people who are promoted have substantially lower salaries. African Americans who hold hourly clerk positions are also paid substantially lower hourly wages than other clerks. Working conditions fail to comply with OSHA standards. I believe management ignores this issue in order to maximize profits. The company consistently breaks many laws during its daily operations. I've seen handicapped spaces blocked during remodeling at the respective store I work at as well as others. I've seen sewage leaks take place on location, evidence of vermin and other incidents that would indicate possible endangerment to the public's health, all whilst the store continue to operate. Management also authorized construction operations that were harmful to working employees’ health to take place during operating hours. At the store I work at, jackhammering took place 10 - 30 ft. from where I was and I nor any other regular associates were given any of the protective required equipment (eye and ear protective gear etc.).

The store has labeling and pricing issues and they do not try to fix them.
