Pros

Convenient location, good clean working environment, lots of work, lots of hours. Mostly friendly staff working, love the people working there at times, especially curbside

Cons

Unrealistic expectations when finishing a task, poor management, bunch of complacent overnight leads who thinks they are perfect and can do no wrong, dont make mistakes and often lie about certain issues or tasks and then often goes against their own advice and will just move the goalpost for the sake of it. Certain tasks they will have you do that is meant to be done with 2 people and then get upset when you cannot meet that goal during a shift. At least the team leads I work with are extremely disorganized and very curt when it comes to work tasks and assignments that needed to be done yet how they set the workflow such as breakdown and downstacking on the sales floor is so poorly done and wonder why the team cant finish on time. They complain so much about partners not willing to work yet either put an inexperienced partner on one task that they dont know very well and get mad when they dont finish on time. Or put another partner on one task and set an unrealistic goal who is working their 3rd day in a row and put them in the hardest aisle with a heavy workload. And worst of all, put that blame on the partner they assigned the task for and not themselves.

Pros

People oriented company that cares about customers and employees. Great benefits including health insurance, discounts on own brand groceries, and vacation time.

Cons

Work life balance is abysmal the moment you become salary. Expected to work 50+ hours. Company cares more about employees than managers, which causes the managers to take frustrations out on their employees.
