Pros

-great pay, much more than comparable grocery stores -fantastic benefits (cheap health insurance, great coverage, amazing retirement plan, paid time off) -very positive store environment -managers are much more concerned with making customers and employees happy than with the store's bottom line. I've never worked in such a supportive environment before! -everyone basically does the same job, and managers pitch in and do just as much work as crew -I love that we have control of everything on a store level: writing orders for product every day, having in-house sign artists, being involved with local communities, etc. -lots of fun, and of course a discount on the great food

Cons

-work can be very physically demanding -shifts can cover all hours, very early morning and late night shifts

Pros

Management listens to your concerns and is intelligent enough to act on them. Products are great and new stuff is always coming in. 10% employee discount. Even Alcohol!

Cons

Sometimes it feels like there are too many employees on the floor, this can lead to a lack of hours.
