Pros

There are some very friendly regular customers who treat the employees like family. The employee discount of 10% is nice because then you are only paying slightly more than any other grocery store.

Cons

The level of social derelicts that "run" the departments is astounding. For a customer service based industry, it seems that the brothers have started to lose sight of what customer service actually means. They should be thankful that there is a cult following for their store and small select group of dedicated employees that actually adhere to the standards that Heinens was built upon. Most managers are never present on the floor and operate behind a closed door. The level of discord amongst the regular employees is rampant and it is a shame because with decent leadership I believe that the company would flourish. Work/Life balance is non-existent. You work all hours of the day and you only find out your schedule the Friday before the next week. Wanna make plans? Good luck! Schedules are often changed after they are posted too.

Pros

good part time job while in school. relaxed atmosphere. Not many pros. However if you are making a career out of grocery retail this company is a better employer than their competitors

Cons

no room for advancement, even after completing a four year degree. Most of management is not at all professional, and many are not formally educated. Nepotism is common place.

Pros

Good solid work, lots of hours.Consistent time in, time out. Pay is comparable to updated wages. Benefits are good.

Cons

Management plays favorites, watches people goof-off, goof-up and slack-off. Then jumps on the hardest workers doing everything required of them. Telling them their work isn't good enough, not following directions.and believing the lies of jealous workers say. Particular when you have more time than 99 percent of the people there.
