Pros

- good benefits - above average vacation/PTO time rewarded - nice facility - weekly giveaways from the purchasing dept - OT is no big deal

Cons

- SUPER LONG LATE HOURS - Favoritism over anyone German or German speaking - Tech: a lot of their equipment breaks down. management of this equipment is handled very poorly. - Pretty much throw you in the fire the day you walk in. Formal training is scarce. They tell you to ask as many questions as you need but it clearly is just a saying. - Costs to park

Pros

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.
