Pros

2 years ago - a few things. Today - not much. Place was much better before it was turned private and became a place where you dreaded going everyday. At least they make good salads though.

Cons

Ownership under the Cutrale Family. 95% of the work force has quit since they took over, and the other 5% are on their way out. Benefit cuts. Promotions to all the wrong people. The accounting department doesn't know the difference between a debit and a credit. Logistics is a nightmare. Everything is so micromanaged it makes you wonder why you even bother anymore.

Pros

Weekly pay every Friday, which is great. Decent health benefits, could be a little bit better priced. Major holidays off.

Cons

Listen to employees, The perform to grow is supposed to be an opportunity to explore and actually work and cross train in other departments is a total joke. If you want to explore another department you basically have to transfer outright. Supervisors don't include your feedback and morning meetings.
