Pros

Middle- Management = Incompetency and poor Bad NEGATIVE Morale.

Cons

Why can't Metro M. hire cleaner hygiene conscious workers?.... especially in Deli and Produce....Just looking at these shady people ruins one's appetite. Central Market, PCC, Whole Foods, and Trader Joe's have CLEANER...SHARPER looking crews....one wonders how Metro M. can sell bananas let alone fried chicken? Amazon Whole Foods and PCC have way better healthy alternatives.

Pros

I’ve had to work for two metropolitan markets, one in Tacoma (temp) and one in gig harbor. Both had great people working there. I made good friends there and I felt very welcome. Employees who work there get a 20% discount in everything which is nice because the food quality there is great, there’s always something new to try there!

Cons

I would say the pay isn’t great; it’s a step up from working at Albertsons or any other entry job, but it’s not super livable unless you work there for a long time, 5 years plus.
