Pros

If nothing else, you get to spend your time around one of the best-stocked supermarkets in the country. Various cheeses, meats, wines - anything you can conjure - surround you.

Cons

-The management is abysmal. Employees are treated like third-rate human beings. -You see firsthand everything that the management does to cut corners - even if it means peddling near-rotten food products. -Your manager can/will/does change your schedule on a whim, and there is nothing you can do about it. -Your manager instructs you to do something incorrectly/stupidly/inefficiently (against your protestations), and then harangues you for following their directions.

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.
