Pros

I experienced some of the best working relationships and interactions with food. I learned how to move extremely quickly and serve customers well in a limited time frame.

Cons

Store leadership began whittling away at the customer and employee experience for the sake of the bottom line. Coupons were introduced, which, I believe erodes away at the brand. There is a lot of turnover due to glass ceilings and the importation of talent.

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.
