Pros
Working with individuals at the local cooperatives - they remember the values of a cooperative system.
Cons
Although they claim to be EEOC compliant, there is always someone in line for the advancement when internal employees apply for positions. They do not have succession planning and very little to advance current staff and prefer to recruit from Target, Pillsbury, General Mills and other corporate giants rather than remaining true to the whole premise it was built upon. HR representatives are focused on their relationship with the business partners, and put the employee needs at the bottom of the list. This causes a huge lack of trust in the system as evidenced by the employee engagement surveys.
