Pros

Good Benefits Good Salary

Cons

Hard to advance or move positions, there is a huge problem with nepotism and favoritism. There are long hours with not much recognition, unless you are one of the favorites. You are looked down upon if you have a life outside of the company, as in, you have family obligations that limit your time to 40 hours a week. Not all of the managers are qualified because they just earned degrees and have no experience in managing individuals-- some who've actually had managing experience or previous professional experience. HR is a disaster depending on the section you have to deal with.

Pros

Great team atmosphere, everyone gets on and just cracks on with the job and help each other. It isn't designed for someone who wants to sit on till all day. Great benefits like discounts and 30 days holiday a year.

Cons

The shifts are often different but that is a given in the supermarket industry.
