Pros

Huge growth. They take personal growth seriously when reasonable. For example, they have the "Focal Infinite Library" program which allows people to get any book they want for free as long as they present it to the company. This is so cool. I did this a few times. This and a few other things they do allow people to switch careers if they want to. We had someone at Focal who was in Field Ops and now they are a Mechanical Engineer here. There was another Field Ops person who know runs Supply Chain. Very cool that they take this serious.

Cons

Not much negative to say.

Pros

My manager at the time didn’t breathe down my neck and the work wasn’t very difficult. You were paid for travel time and miles driven to each job site.

Cons

The job location kept changing every few days going to every ShopRite in the area. You are on your feet 100% of the time when you’re working. They got my pay wrong on multiple occasions and did nothing to truly rectify the issue. The issue was so bad that the payroll coordinator quit because of all the requests for changes. You would have to drive to every job site with your own vehicle and sometimes you wouldn’t know until a day before. It was never told to me that the job was temporary. Once we finished the jobs at ShopRites in the general Tri-State area I was unceremoniously laid off without my knowledge while promises of more work were made by my manager. Once we were finishing up the list of stores and we were told that there would be no more work we became unmotivated to continue but my manager lied to us saying there would be maintenance work available after but there was none. They called 2 weeks after the last job to let me know I was laid off.
