Great company itself; personal experience truly depends on manager.

Barista

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Relatively positive environment, company will match your donations to charity, lots of room for promotion, plenty of available hours, health care, etc.

Cons

You need to work at least 24 hours per week to get health benefits; if you call in sick once and have just 18 hours for that week, you lose your benefits for the entire month. The dress code is tolerable, no visible tattoos, piercings, beards (moustaches okay), unnatural haircolor, or dreadlocks. If you have a happy manager, life is sensible. If your manager hates their life, they have the power to take it out on you and calling corporate will only make your manager get a call asking the situation.

Vons is a good place to get started and to work short term, but there isn't much otherwise.

Business Outlook

Pros

- Most managers work around your schedule - Good first job to gain experience - Most employees are easy to get along with - No training required

Cons

- The management was very spotty and inconsistent. Some managers operated very strongly while others were simply incompetent. - Union dues take a large chunk of paychecks - Not much room to move up / increase pay. - Hours can fluctuate dramatically - Supervisors switch very often making it difficult to get acquainted with them. - Quite a bit of strenuous physical demands (standing and running)
