Pros
* Great Benefits, vacation and personal time. * You learn how to run a grocery store, from every single aspect (from cleaning to stoking shelves, working at the register, checking dates and rotation, writing reports and audits, well, everything...).
Cons
* Back breaking work. * Lack of encouragement and recognition. * Poor communication from the Divisional office, District Managers and so on... * Lack of consistency and organization. Very unproductive. * Lack of motivation from the Divisional office and down the chain... * No work/life balance whatsoever. * District Managers are very unexperienced and don't know how to run a business. * No real customer service experience for their customers. Everybody is running all over the place, have to finish tasks, work at the register and help customers at the SAME time. Every store works on "SURVIVAL MODE". * Overall, employees at all levels are not happy with the company. Pretty much people work there for the money, but that's it. That's why the turnover is ridiculously high! * Only 2 employees or max of 3 per shift (in most stores), even when the store sales are over $1 million a month.
