Pros

Great food. Most customers are pretty nice. Above average pay for a grocery store. Great brand - I hope this doesn't become just another grocery store. Seems the way it is heading.

Cons

Cliquey - atmosphere can be high schoolish. Mates have their pets. If you don't kiss ass, you will be stuck as Crew member forever. Sneaky and underhanded in the way they have recently cut benefits - many think there were store quotas of employees that would lose health insurance. Not all mates have a good idea of your strengths/weaknesses so almost all employees are seen as interchangeable.

Good pay for the work, good health benefits, ok retirement.

Cons

Poor management. Much waste. Poor communication. Bottom line way more important than customer service.
