      Pros

      Can be fun, great co workers, regular raises. Will work with a student schedule. Free T shirts and sweatshirts. Free lunch on paydays thru product tastings.

      Cons

      Very Physical work, with ample opportunity for physical injuries.Huge cost saving measures being implemented in almost every area of the company. As of Jan 1, 2014 all employees working less than 30 hours a week are being dumped from health care benefits.Raises are pass or fail, you either get the standard raise or you don't. Products are innovative and often ahead of the curve however the products can be of inconsistent quality. Lousy managers get promoted to the frustration of those they work with. Training and communication are low priorities.

      Pros

      Crew members and customers, lot of physical activity (no sitting around) being at the center of so many lives- there Groceries!

      Cons

      The ever widening gap between what was a standard ideal , and now how has been processed, corporate-spun & packaged, no protection from the " new" style of management, did somebody say McDonalds?

      Pros

      Great coworkers Relatively nice mates (bosses) Free sampling at tastings and when coworkers buy snacks to share Good about letting you take time off if you warn them way in advance

      Cons

      Hierarchy of crew members Nothing to do if you don't work register No leadership They pretend to care but they don't Care more about customers than employees Can get written up for not acting a specific cheery way Immature leadership, If you ask for something, they help you, and then proceed to make fun of you for needing help with it and tell every other mate so they can laugh at your expense too. Phase you out when they don't want you anymore just to keep you on the payroll No room for advancement
