Pros

Earth Fare has a great food philosophy. I believe this makes us different and more appealing than most other healthy super markets. We have a great team of department managers right now. I appreciate the discount. Pretty flexible with requests off (not that I ask off much...)

Cons

Our employees are coming in shockingly underpaid for their work! I can't keep a good person in my department for very long at all because of these labor cuts and these ridiculous pay caps that we don't even have access to on the O-drive any longer. We need to bring back employee incentives! We won't have to beg for customers like we are now if we could promise that our employees would be just as helpful as they were when Jack ran the place (not that he was doing things correctly). We need hours to CLEAN! We need hours to TRAIN! We are a health food store. Our employees need to know our products. I am lucky to get A DAY to train my new team members properly! 10 hours of training is not enough! That means for everyone! Cashiers and clerks included! These team members deal with more customers than any of us in management! Please, help them.
