Pros

Good money for people with few marketable skills. Plenty of overtime. Profit sharing, eventually. Lots of exercise on the job. Very physical. Good way to learn how to get around town.

Cons

Non-union. Lots of nepotism. Split days off mandatory. Expected to work 12 hour days often, six days a week in the summer. Lousy medical benefits. High deductible. Very high turnover.

Pros

Selling fresh fruits and vegetables is fun! ESOP is just the dangling of the carrot. Seems to be the new corporate buzz word.

Cons

No culture or core values. And yes, what makes them amazing is the people! But at which company is that not the case? Inconsistent job titles, responsibilities, systems and disciplinary actions across all divisions in the company. No transparency or explanations as to why things are the way they are. Slow to adapt to changing technology landscape. Family company, but are all the in-laws and cousins the right fit for all the roles? They might be the largest private wholesaler on the West Coast but that hasn't created any purchasing power to be used as an advantage. With Co-CEO's, half divisions run one way, the others another way. Very fragmented structure. HR is not there to support employees, purely to protect senior staff/executives and company. "Too many Chiefs, not enough Indians."
