Pros

Good stable job in a horrible economy. Equipment is excellent. Employee stock option as a retirement plan has an excellent return rate.

Cons

You always feel expendable. New upper level management has a different approach. Spending money at a record pace, making what appears to be bad decisions on their part and then preaching to the employees about how much the employees are hurting the company.

Pros

Hands down the benefits. Pay is "ok". Paid vacation is decent as is sick pay. Being alot busier than other grocery chains.

Cons

Pay should be greater, especially for PICs who are the backbone of the company and enforce the will of the store manager and the policies of the company on a personal and daily basis. PICs make the same salary as a checker that stands in one place all day just beeping groceries, yet have management responsiblities and duties. Little care is given to the hourly empolyees, whether it be ridiculou scheduling that doesn't allow for anything that could be considered a "life" to proper training to lousy managers who have only scraped by in the company because of other people who support and correct mistakes before they are recognized to be complete failures to promoting unqualified employees to PICs when they have neither the intelligence or ability to properly handle the responsibilities or duties of said position. The workplace is like a high school and everyone stabs anyone in the back for any reason.

Pros

The Health insurance is Great!

Cons

If the Store Manager doesn't like you, they will make your life a living HELL! Immature people are getting thrown in the Management position to quickly, they don't kow what they are doing. All WinCo managers have BIG heads and forget that they were the low man on the todem pole in the beginning of their careers!
