Pros
Excellent pay and benefits for both union and non-union (management) employees.
Cons
Grocery retail has become a volatile industry. Innovation, new competition (Amazon/ Lidl/ Aldi) and the widening range of customers needs has narrowed the profit margin to mere pennies. Employees are pushed to their limits on a daily basis. There is no time or money for comprehensive training so the company is pouring personnel into the management meat grinder to see who comes out the other side. Extremely low morale and no job security. Clicklist, driverless delivery, and stores with no personnel (Amazon in Seattle has a store with no checkers) beg the question: what will the grocery industry be in 20 years? 10 years? Even 5 years? Not recommended for people looking for a career, highly recommended for people looking for a job.
