Hard Working---Stay Away From This Place!

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Flexible hours, especially working weekends

Cons

Low pay. Too many Minnesota nice ---nice to your face but leave their mess everywhere for others to clean up. Low paying jobs come with trashy behaviors. Some Bosses might nice to your face but don't do much. Hard working ain't appreciate for their efforts. Lazy ones ain't being punished for their behaviors; on top of that, they can't take the heats! Communication meetings don't mention anything about what kind of benefits we get for working there. 401k, the company does not match ; 401k is just your money. Wells Fargo manages 401k for Coborn's and they call it Employees Profit Sharing. Cross training is not to advance you further up in the corporate ladders. Turn over rates are very high for low paying positions. Cross training are to fill the empty spots from high turn over and people call off.

Pros

They have a good work/life balance, they are able to work around your outside life schedule especially if you're a part time employee. There is always an opportunity for advancement and Coborn's favors hiring internally as opposed to externally. They value their employees and can make for a very healthy work environment.

Cons

Pay raises were minimal, getting 10 cents a raise when everything on your review is above average is disheartening when the guy next to you has an average/below average review gets the same raise. Management has a tendency of being disconnected, and some even treat their employees poorly while that's overlooked by the corporate office.
