      Pros

      Nice customers. Price of most of their food is good. They have great deals. Store is clean and well lit.

      Cons

      Management and Owners are unfair and unjust. This company feels like being in high school again with all the clicks. Managers favor employees who have worked there longer than I have. I was also suspended without pay because an employee who has worked there longer than me accused me of doing something I didn't do, management had no proof and it was only my word against hers and apparently they took her word over mine.

      It was enlightening but need to be careful with employees there, since mgmt. favors certain people.

      Pros

      I really don't have any favorable views about working at the main office. The two CEO's the company has are young MacGregor and Eric. When I worked there, I was always doing more but my manager never acknowledged the good work I was doing even if it was off the clock. It got to the point where I would only do my 8 hours shift for them. They are more concerned with profits since they have a shared ownership with an outfit back east. they have 10% each and the other group has 80%.

      Cons

      Mgmt. was always very up and up about the best places to work review of the company. It's a small billion dollar in sales company trying to be one of the big boys in supermarket retail sales but upper mgmt. needs to see what is really important of themselves and the customers. they sell a lot of stuff that is actually very unhealthy. Some of the merchandise comes from Canada but at a very low quality since you know that the Canadian dollar has a higher value compared to the dollar. If you are a concerned consumer regarding your health this place is not for you even if the savings are great avoid at all cost.

      Pros

      It was a place where I meet a lot of nice people. The customers were great!

      Cons

      Poor management.It's like working for a bunch of kids. Wait you are and it shows in management as well as owners. If schedule is put out once a week and your not on it are you fired or did they just forget? You wouldn't know because management won't tell you and the owners are conveniently out of town till Thursday for a corporate meeting. Also, no back brace offered and no assistance with moving pallets.If you have spoken to management and owners and still nothing is fixed. No a good sign. Bad management and poor ownership.
