Pros

I loved the people I worked with, including my supervisors and managers. The store I was at had a lot of long-time employees (people rarely quit or got fired), so after a while everyone knew one another really well. They were very willing to work around my school hours as they supported people trying to better themselves by earning degrees. The ESOP plan will be amazingly helpful once it pays out in a few years (takes 5 years to be 100% vested, then 5 years after last employment to pay). The health insurance was very inexpensive compared to everywhere else I have worked.

Cons

Decent pay for college students, but not for anyone else. Raises are based on hours worked, not merit. The days/hours can get you down if you don't like working on holidays/weekends/late-nights, but that is true for almost any retail/food-service job.

Pros

Winco Foods helped me find myself and gave me a change to bring out my gifts and talents that I never knew I had. If you are a team player and love helping people then you could go a long way with this company. Winco Foods has great Medical and a Retirement Plan. I tell everyone that if you are looking for quick money now then it may not be for you, but if you are looking for a great future and retirement then this is a place you want to be. My saying is sacrifice now and enjoy the later.

Cons

One thing that I've up observe at work is when some people get into upper positions they a loud themselves to let it go to their heads. They tend to become controllers rather than a leader. The other thing that I disagree with is the pay scale after you become full time status. The reason I say this is because you have some that are Team Players that go over and beyond, where some just take their time milk the clock and still each gets paid the same. To me this is not fare.
