Nepotism, unrealistic expectations for employees, a lack of respect, and clickish. - High Turnover in most departments. - Pay is mediocre/low relative to work expectations. - In office dress code is essentially business professional, especially for men. Expect to wear a suit and tie. - Very strict office etiquette, must push in chair at desks or get written up.

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

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.
