Horrible treatment of long-time and loyal employees.

Pros

It was good to work near home, but that was the only good thing about working for this corrupt company.

Cons

The management has no idea what they are doing and play favorites. Constant back-stabbing between coworkers, changing of schedules, inappropriate behavior between managers and employees, and immoral food safety practices. There is no opportunity given to advance through the company unless you suck up to the right person. No employee discount, even on a simple lunch tray. They do not live up to the image they project, nor provide proper documentation of company policies.

Pros

The industry that you choose to work with must be stable, and groceries are definitely a staple for our society.

Cons

I am personally on the stock crew, which makes for a non existent life, not to mention some very odd hours.
