Pros

Flexible scheduling, store is mostly empty during weekdays, coworkers are also miserable

Cons

Have you ever heard the term “a pig wearing lipstick”? That’s what Plum Market is. Shiny stainless steel (so shiny they sued another company for using their shiny stainless steel idea!) covering up black mold growing on the walls surrounding food preparation areas. Owners and co are a joke, not on positive thing is said by them or about them. Too busy staring at their phones to notice Forgotten Harvest just side swiped their Tesla or that their guests are ancient and can’t afford the 40 percent margins anymore. Keep opening stores in Florida, we already know you’re gonna say your leases were stolen from you in Michigan and close them all, just hope nobody ever reads the reviews you didn’t pay for. Owners are petulant and transfer products between LLC’s tax free and illegally, support staff harbors a known predator that most female staff knows to stay away from. Overall, if you’re a white male who wants to talk the Big Game or “making it snow” go ahead and apply to plum.

Pros

Better work experience and pay than other grocery stores. Management is very involved in the day-to-day; they are always walking the floor. They can be very helpful at times and provide good support when a team is short-staffed or rushed. Most of the other employees are nice and easy to work with, but they can be a bit cliquey.

Cons

Management is very involved in the day-to-day, and they are always walking the floor. They can be incredibly critical and punishing for small issues. Beneath the guise of being a "family," competitiveness is often encouraged, especially among team leaders. Management often plays favorites, strongly reprimanding some for things outside of their control, while being overly forgiving of others for genuine issues. Team leaders are also given much more responsibility than at larger retail stores, for only slightly better pay. I often felt overworked and underappreciated. The holiday bonus is a gift card to the store, the value of which is subtracted from your paycheck for that week. The CEO is a bad leader; senior management often criticizes his choices behind his back, and he can be very retaliatory. It is a quality he passes down through the company, prioritizing loyalists over good businesspeople.
