Pros

I am impressed on how long they keep their employees. The union has prevented firings. Friendships and working together are a plus. Since I was part time, I managed to go to school and the schedule was worked around it. Great benefits.

Cons

Pay is pitiful. Its a grocery chain, so that can be expected. Managers are not trained well. They have this thing where they are unable to fire people, (because of the union) so, if someone not doing well, they still keep. Latest manager would infuriate employees and creating "scenarios" to create a write up. One manager writes people up for not asking a question " Do you have anything under the basket?" Even if we can see the basket and we did not ask the question, that leads to write ups.

Pros

Fun Job. Time flies when working. Learn new skills.

Cons

Management does NOT care about you only the work you do. You will be overworked and underpaid. Very little training and they expect you to know everything within a couple weeks. Managers are lazy and will put their work on you! Work place is full of drama and creepy people that HR looks the other way because of 'popularity'. This is not the only location with problems the whole company is a mess. Constantly switching out district managers. Ops were horrible, they would come boss everyone around to try to make the shop look perfect in 1 shift, often making a lot of people miss their breaks and work overtime. Frozen loads and products would go to waste due to miscommunication between managers and no one seemed to ever want to fix any problems. Extremely low morale and high turnover. Stay far away from this place unless you're really sure you're only staying a while.
