Pros

If you're lazy and want a job where they can't/won't easily fire you, Vons is the place. If you're social and want to make a lot of connections, Vons has a high turnover, so you'll meet a lot of new people and won't be expected to do your job. Benefits used to be good, but with the new healthcare laws they are subpar to other jobs.

Cons

There's no point to work harder, promotions come from years with company and personal relationships with management. You only get up to 40 hours a week when things are very busy. Typically get under 20 hours a week. Your schedule is written and mostly random each week; you must request days off to assure you get the free time, and it's just a suggestion to management. Lazy workers face no punishment and all positions get paid within the same wage bracket, so you watch lazy people stand around and talk while you're forced to do their job as well as your own. Very little regard to travel distance and sleep time of their employees. (i.e. 30-minute commute and leave after dark, then come in early the next morning).

Pros

Excellent, straightforward, comprehensive training program and learning modules to ramp up quickly. Management was reasonable and attentive. It was welcoming and I felt respected, and gave my all as a result. They also make sure people don't stay longer or go without a break after the 5-hour mark; this is a California statute with which I was unfamiliar (I was guilty of working long hours without a lunch break in CT due to

Cons

This likely comes with the territory, but a significant percentage of the target customer demographic are of the needlessly disrespectful, uncivil, infantile, entitled, and rich variety. They contrive conflict and attempt to pin it on the workers, or needlessly change their order after it has been obtained. It is child's play. Company policy says to never call the police unless they are a threat to safety, but they absolutely do disturb the peace and ruin the experience for others. It doesn't help that there is an expensive (not necessarily upscale in terms of class) drinking establishment in the same plaza.
