Pros

Co workers are friendly. Products superior. Customers mostly very nice. Great benefits. Great overall work experience. Best grocery specialty store overall!

Cons

Many new hires get instant jump into management. That is great for them, however, tough for crew who have been there for a while with a desire to advance. Older people are less likely to become management. 20 to 30ish have best advantage. Hard work physically and injuries happen as in any physically demanding job.

Pros

The benefits are good . Chance to move up is okay

Cons

Hours can be long, not enough training for management. If you are going to continue to use the TJU method update it current trends so that everyone is on the same page. Safety is an issue.
