What a joke.

Pros

I laughed out loud when I tried to think of any "pro" for this hell hole of a company. I would say the highlight of my days are when I'm walking out of the store to go home.

Cons

Every single employee of this company is completely insufferable. The self righteous hierarchy of power that this business displays is downright laughable. No one in charge of anything important has any idea what the hell their job actually is. It's honestly astonishing that Ingles has not gone bankrupt.

Pros

Great assistant managers. Good coworkers. Great job for school kids.

Cons

Lousy job for adults who have homes to maintain and bills and taxes to pay. Seniors get very few hours . When you put in years of service and work your hourly rate up to something decent, you will get fewer hours. Manager prefers school kids who work for minimum wage. If they show up for work, seniors get kicked off their assigned shift to be replaced with a student. Also, they have a hideous habit of changing your schedule without notice, no text message, no phone call, no email and managers have cell phones on their hips. Never heard of this habit. Many people got up in this situation, leading to anger and frustration. Such a stupid stupid practice. It's a "go nowhere" job.
