Pros

Good company to work for depending on the department. FoodBuy and Human Resources are two good areas that I recommend.

Cons

Corp Payroll department needs some work. Leadership is lacking vision and there is no upward mobility. Management team is very passive aggressive. No one says what the really want to say and they always keep you guessing. There is also a lot of favoritism shown by management to certain individuals. Process and procedures are out dated.

Benefits, rotating weekends off, hours

Upper management offers no support but expects results, short staffed everyday, distribution of work between management is a joke. Vacation time is a joke you can never use your time off!
