Pros

I worked with some really terrific people. Most were motivated to work there by a real interest in food rather than just a job. They were interesting and helpful.

Cons

Many of the customers were rude, arrogant and downright unpleasant to be around. They acted as though having money to spend on food made them better than the store employees. There were many people who took gross advantage of the company policies about things like sampling products.

Pros

The unique events, although they get VERY busy.

Cons

Poorly run management. There is no room for promotion if you hold your managment team accountable. They absolutely do not want to be told what they need to improve on. I believe as a whole, Central Market needs to improve communication. I have seen way too many situations that could have been avoided if someone would have just communicated with their team. Entirely way too much favoritism and a huge lack of professionalism. People can(and will) sass and belittle you but if stand up for yourself, they take offense. There are entirely way too many managers that would choose favorites over someone who works extremely hard for little pay. Over the last few years, I have noticed the continued lack in quality of our food products. I have even personally gotten food poisoning a few times.
