Pros

Regular on time pay. Money went up recently and good company benefits.

Cons

Non stop working, can’t be seen doing nothing or talking around too long. Felt like a donkey on most shifts and breaks are random depending on who took it last or wants to go next. Oh yea you get one yes one 30minute break!!!

Pros

Intelligent engaged people, Modern offices, Decent pay, and good retirement benefits.

Cons

Growing pains of a European company modifying its business to grow its American footprint. Senior leadership was mostly European. Felt disconnected from American grocery culture.
