Pros

good one XD good job if you do not like youe life

Cons

Avoid this workplace. The environment is disorganised, poorly managed, and built on unequal workload distribution where a small number of employees are expected to carry the majority of physically demanding tasks while others face no accountability. Management behaviour is unprofessional and, at times, openly disrespectful. Issues raised are ignored rather than addressed, and there is a clear lack of basic standards when it comes to fairness, communication, and employee treatment. Operationally, the store runs inefficiently, with constant disruptions that make it difficult to complete assigned duties. Staff misuse time, while pressure is placed on those who actually work. There are also concerns regarding workplace hygiene and equipment standards. The overall experience was physically exhausting and mentally draining, ultimately forcing me to leave for health reasons. This is not a healthy or sustainable working environment.

Pros

Intelligent engaged people, Modern offices, Decent pay, and good retirement benefits.

Cons

Growing pains of a European company modifying its business to grow its American footprint. Senior leadership was mostly European. Felt disconnected from American grocery culture.
