Business Outlook

Pros

Easy Job and convenient work

Cons

Having to work in a grocery store for hours and having to do more than the job entails. Also very bad at scheduling with some clear favorites and influences from them to favor. Also advertised 15$ per hour but only paid 12 without my knowledge.

Giant Store # 300 Nice work team but poor management and low morale

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The team was nice and the customers were friendly.

Cons

The management are inconsistent in their employment practices. They target certain employees and will at some point be in legal trouble based on how they treat people. They have no leadership skills like communication and clarity. The store manager, assistant and HR needs to be retrained. The morale is low and there is constant confusion. Leaders should be the model in creating an inclusive culture.
