Pros

Benefits were decent with basic healthcare and dental options and a 401k after a specific period of employment Diverse vendors to work with and a variety of food and beverage products to become familiarized with Staff was welcoming and management was flexible with your needs, if they are real emergencies Variety of responsibilities to learn as a warehouse associate from order picking with rider pallet jacks, assisting the receiving department and scanning vendor arrivals, monthly inventory control, utilizing FIFO when organizing inventory, to communicating with the sales staff

Cons

Pay was low near minimum wage, especially accounting for the cost of living in Los Angeles Limited growth potential; it's more about who you know rather than what you know and how hard you work Some staff can be unprofessional in their language and opinions Overall, it's a stepping stone to more opportunities out there. You can start at Erewhon to build upon your resume and get noticed by other employers but not a place to stay long term if you want to truly expand your career and earning potential.

Pros

The team itself was solid, and the store's a genuinely nice place to work day-to-day.

Cons

The compensation is just not aligned with what you're actually doing. You're running a shift, working register, dealing with customers, training people, managing closings - and all of it's on a cashier's wage. I actually did the math once and it came out to about $17/hour when you factor in everything. The store charges premium prices and does well financially, but shift leads don't see any of that reflected in their pay. That gap is unsustainable, and it's exactly why I left.
