Pros

The store locations are conveniently located, and it's very easy for me to get to work. There are certain managers that are very easy to talk to, just for daily support.

Cons

I feel like everything is based on favoritism. I can't have a life based on my pay. I have a lot of experience, and should have been offered more to start. The upper management seems to have forgotten what it's like to work on the sales floor. They expect loyalty from the employees, but don't do the same for us.

Working in the catering department for 5 years I was respected by my co-workers and upper management.

Pros

After switching companies from Safeway, I started from the bottom in the deli in 2007 at Bristol Farms in Mission Viejo, determined to go forward. Catering Manager was on my mind and, 6 months later, accomplished that goal. Closure of that store sent me to Newport Beach where I became a co-catering manager. Large store-humongous catering orders! Bristol Farms is one of the most happiest places I have worked during my adult life. They are always willing to teach you, to make you the best that you can be for the company. I was happy driving to work just because of the ethics of the others who I worked with.

Cons

Company values are so political. Working your way up - they cab take it away with a pay cut and demote you to part time on paper. I continued to work 40-60 hours/week. Politics and money!
