Pros

It's an established company with a proven financial future. Working for a grocery store is pretty stable - everyone always needs groceries.

Cons

HR and Recruiting have too much power over the hiring process. Do not be surprised if the job is posted to one paygrade, but you get a call from the recruiter stating the paygrade is being dropped with the responsibilities staying the same. It happened to me more than once and happened to a number of other individuals as well.

Pros

Some leads & managers were very helpful with training. If you seek advice and growth, they will aid you in doing despite how hectic it can be. Its a good pathway to becoming a Meat Cutter, one of the highest paying entry level roles in a grocery store.

Cons

Very hard to keep up with the rigorus, fast paced enviroment if your store has a skeleton crew. It was very stressful. Its very difficult to stand out to leadership if you're looking to move up the company
