Pros

Crew (employees) are active and cheerful in their work and interactions with customers. Work varies from cashier to stocking to customer interaction to demos. It's fast paced but the day goes fast that way. With good relations with captain and first mate it can go well. Honest company to work for in my experience.

Cons

Depends on the captain and first mate(s) (management) of the store. These folks work long hard hours and therefore often expect the same from team members.

Pros

Fun co-workers, good food, 10% discount, it will really help you get into shape. Customers are mostly nice, reasonable pay, GREAT benefits.

Cons

The company is definitely shifting gears. You hear about how happy the employees are which is because of how great the company was and how well we were treated. Like valued staff members. Now that is being chipped away at. The economy can be a good excuse but honestly what was a small personal company is now beginning to treat its employees like they work at Safeway. Raises are lower across the board. Fun really isn't encouraged. Employee tastings have all but disappeared. Prices for insurance has raised. Peoples strengths and weaknesses are ignored and people are really just cogs in the wheel now.
