Pros

It's a paycheck, and that's about the only Pro I can come up with.

Cons

This is about the corporate office located in Paramount. Although El Super is a growing and profitable company, they have a lot to learn about how to treat their employees. Employees here are suppressed and discouraged from expressing themselves and being individuals. You walk into the corporate office and you literally hear crickets chirping. There is dead silence the entire day. This silence comes from fear, fear of retribution from management if you even attempt to talk to your neighbor, use your cell phone, or God forbid use the internet on your computer or eat at your desk. There is a culture of fear at this company, and no employee who works here is happy or comfortable. There are no vacation days, no sick days, and only 5 paid holidays. One of the worst companies I have ever worked for.

Pros

Nice to work in an environment that has stuff so ingrained in my culture and I don't have to necessarily communicate with everyone in the same language.

Cons

Often really disorganized and takes forever to get a promotion even though you've been trained.
