Pros

It's a job and I actually like their products

Cons

big workload, small contracts (20hrs), expected to be completely flexible, expected to be there on time but never get out in time (very difficult to plan anything), no staff discount, hardly any praise, bad communication between management and store assistants, not being treated as a valued member (remember without the store workers they wouldn't make any money at all)

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.
