Pros

Good people and work culture.

Cons

There is a lot of politics in some departments, because of which lots of good employees are leaving or they are forced to leave.

Pros

There are really no pros in working for most Grocery Outlets.

Cons

Low pay, no holidays, no paid vacation, no health insurance, no retirement, no benefits, cut hours, high turnover, no support from store management to move forward but they lead you to believe for years you will move forward only to use you as long as they can. Some of their store owners are felons. Some are mentally ill and abusive to their staff and have warrants for their arrest in various states. Most store owners are high school drop outs or graduates with no management experience, no people skills, envious of their student employees who are trying to better themselves.

Pros

Job is pretty straight forward, coworkers are nice

Cons

Management is quick to blame any problems in the store on employee performance and not their lack of communication, foresight, and confusing employee expectations
