      Pros

      Looks decent on your resume due to rapid growth.. but at the end of the day.. it's still a discount grocery store.

      Cons

      Where do I begin? Company is completely upside down. Men (and only men) get promoted based on how serious they are and if they drink the company kool-aid. Company preaches "values" until they are blue in the face, primarily because they completely disregard them when it comes down to it. Respect? Yeah, if that means working 90 hours a week with no comprehension of life outside of work. Responsibility? Sure, with no oversight or feedback. Don't do things the way they expect, even though you haven't been told what that is? You're fired with no warning. Rewards? Ummm... they don't exist. We had casual Friday once a quarter and even that was taken away due to "less productivity" on this day. Trust? HAHA. That's the funniest one of all. Trust that you will be in the office with no option of working remote, 8am-6pm standard hours at a MINIMUM, and treated like you eat, sleep and breath this company with no respect. Run away, fast. It's just not worth it.
