Pros

Good working atmosphere, great fellow employees, challenging job with the opportunity to make a difference with coworkers and customers. Benefits are average but not bad.

Cons

Company values are changing as the company continues to try and find itself and how to run a business after 135 years of being in business. Focus has changed to tighter/leaner labor, more expectations of existing employees, more focus on spending irresponsibly and less focus on the customer and the core business (groceries in, groceries out). Be prepared, if in store level management, to work long hours, jumping thru endlessly changing hoops and being held accountable from the bottom up-really the buck starts and stops with you.

Pros

• Generally work with fantastic people. • Work is not difficult, and time flies when busy. • My bosses collaborated with me to create a schedule that worked, as I often had other commitments. • Overall, a pleasant work experience most days. Get good at what you do and you'll do fine.

Cons

• Some of the senior management was less friendly than others - as to be expected. • Days were very volatile; some could be extremely easy, and others could be a nightmare. • Scheduling was kept rather limited; although I was able to get the hours I wanted, often times management would look to cut hours from departments whenever possible, leaving less support.
