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

Great coworkers and managers. The products are great and I loved that I was able to offer great customer service. Moving up and around in the company is easy, positions are always opening up because the company continues to expand. They also have an employee share program

Cons

The hours can be sketchy, depending on the department you're in. Some weeks can be higher than others. The workload is also heavy and the expectations are high but manageable.
