Pros

Great for developing skills out of high school, for learning about people and how to work in teams. Great people work for this business who have great personal skills and wicked senses of humor. Job can be engaging and challenging when busy, which I consider a plus.

Cons

Limited advancement opportunity. Most roads lead to a lower-level management positions where hourly-salary and salaried employees are overworked, underpaid, and often scapegoated when corporate sees mistakes being made. I have not been part of management, but have seen this happening from the outside. Managers do not focus on personnel development. Pay-scale setup for union associates is detrimental to worker productivity.

Pros

GREAT people work for this company. They make it what it is. But most of them are only there because need a paycheck and they HATE there job. Its a great starter job. A stepping stone for those who are going to school to move on to something better with there education.

Cons

Management does a horrible job of taking care of there employees. The customer survey carries more weight than the word of the employee.the grocery retail world is changing. This place will suck you dry if you make it a career.
