Pros

Pay is good and benefits are decent and work schedule is flexible depending on your department.

Cons

Senior Management or Managers should not have the title Manager, they have no experience in the field and do not know what they are doing at all. They pick and choice who they want to promote based off if they like you or not on personal level rather than based on experience and what you have done for the company. They keep bringing Germans over paying and treating them like kings and queens and treating the current US employees like door mats.

Pros

decent hourly rate compare to other supermarket but be prepared to be doing 2 persons task on your own with some shouting hurry up

Cons

its such a demoralising place you will definitely get mental heath issue if you stay there for a long time ask yourself why would they be paying me £10.70 per hour for working in their supermarket? the answer its a prison they would try to control all aspect of your life.

Pros

Team was great, because they suffered together.

Cons

Suffering. Management style is all stick, no carrot. Employees are treated as expendable, and as a result turnover is very high. They promote quick, which sounds great, but it leads to unexperienced tempestuous management.
