Pros

Good pay. Discount card provided.

Cons

Crazy shift patterns. Asked to work a day off whilst still in training. Very poor training. Stressed out before i even got to the hard work. No dedicated staff to train have their own work to do alongside sometimes leaving you not knowing what to do. Told to do a few things differently by 2 different managers. Few staff rude expecting me to know what im doing when it was my first job in retail. Felt like an idiot. (Although most of the staff were really nice including the managers)

Pros

Intelligent engaged people, Modern offices, Decent pay, and good retirement benefits.

Cons

Growing pains of a European company modifying its business to grow its American footprint. Senior leadership was mostly European. Felt disconnected from American grocery culture.
