Pros

The concept, while not novel is the most functional, and friendly iteration of the grocery delivery model. Startup environment provides for a fast workday and ownership and pride in work.

Cons

Contractors are treated like dirt, and the organization sees them as expendable (even if they are, there is simply no excuse to do so). Ops teams should be larger and also be able to delegate more to part-time employees at stores. There need to be more opportunities to grow from within, and ways to encourage and teach non-ops employees Ops functions.

Pros

You could work as many or as little hours as you wanted.

Cons

With new changes hours are capped at 29, you're no longer a independent contractor (meaning taxes are being taken out), cashier salaries were reduced, and shoppers no longer get tips and commission. They capped everyone's hours at 29, since with taking taxes out, they'd have to provide you with benefits.

Pros

Co-workers were great, convenient location

Cons

Management played favorites constantly, didn't appreciate team members, would put the blame on us for anything that went wrong but would take the praise for everything we did right, worked long hours with no OT, never followed through on things that were promised, would publicly criticize team members, there was no real career path, would talk bad about co-workers who left the team. There was no respect on this team and I'm honestly glad that I left. Benefits aren't great and pay is low.
