Pros

$12.00/hour is decent, if you can get a decent amount of hours. Access to FREE produce if you finesse write offs properly

Cons

Inconsistent hours...people have ONE 5 hour day a week. You get no employee benefits unless you're a PT30, and that's difficult to achieve Work/Life balance exists if you get little hours per week. Management is rubbish; Store 1003 has had like seven managers Communication is almost nonexistent. They are very frugal, so hours definitely get cut unexpectedly Schedule changes without notification THEY DON'T CASH ALL OF YOUR PTO HOURS OUT WHEN YOU LEAVE.

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.
