Pros
Good benefits with insurance and other perks for retirement
Cons
A long time ago Associated Foods used to value there employees who work hard for them that have dedicated time and effort in the sales/growth to this company. But now instead all they care about is spending money on remolding stores and wasting money on areas they don’t need to. Working in department management you work hard for sales, gross and labor, when you kill yourself to just be able to hit your numbers there is hard work and passion for your job. With the perks of getting a yearly bonus depending on performance with numbers it is rewarding but for the first time ever for not receiving one and let alone a thank you for all your hard work, you simply get a “oh there no bonuses this year”. Not even a thank you or a simple “we appreciate all your hard work but at this moment we are unable to give out bonuses due to economic hardship”. A simple letter thanking everyone is to much to as for. You become a number in this company vs a valued employee.
