Pros

Very efficient and profitable company. Really innovative and offers a quality product with good marketing. Solid company, I'm sure if you are working above the store level the benefits far exceed the cost of top down pressure.

Cons

Hourly staff in the stores are regarded as a necessary nuisance. Company has repeatedly had problems with UFCW. Company is cutting hours to keep with investor demands and lower overhead, puts a huge strain on everyone in the store level. The culture in the company can be VERY political, if you decide to work here, be very careful not to upset someone or step on toes.

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.
