Pros

The pay for managment used to be the best in the industry.. afte the bonus cut 5 years ago pay has dropped but it is still good.

Cons

benefits are down and equal to burger king, the average manager divides their pay by actual houors work will figure that they only make 14hr. profit sharing has reduced every year and the esop program stolen. no respect for associates. if you need two days off or need to see your family then prepared to pay the price. managment is lazy and expects all the under trained associates to get it. managers lie about training to make their numbers looks good. company doesnt provide time to train in productivty goals. associates are only allowed a three percent raise no matter what they do....... their is no exceptions.. company always sends out memos that too many associates are given to high ratings and will expect better raises. benefits package gets cut and the company tells about some other great thing to take the focus off it. Managers are allowed to harass associates about illnes. Associates are allowed to be blackballed after they try ti stand up for themselves. company engages in inter office campaigns to sell how much you love us to ourselves..

Pros

opportunities to advance and to become more than just an hourly payed employee. i would recommend this company to anyone who wants to become successful and who doesnt mind working hard to achieve their goals.

Cons

you have to work hard... however its a good thing to know most people around you are working just as hard it gives you the feeling that this company is going places!!

Pros

It really is like joining a family when you work here. I've gotten very attached to my coworkers as well as my managers, and they have all treated me with respect. My managers have been very understand with personal and medical emergencies, and I was able to be promoted very quickly. It is generally a very easy job, and it is a great company as a whole.

Cons

Once you make it to customer service staff, it is very hard to get promoted any further unless you have been there for years and years. It is impossible to get full time unless you have been there for years as well, at least in my smaller-sized store. I am very dissatisfied with pay; baggers and cashiers who have been working there for less time are making more money than me, and I only receive 15 cent raises.
