Pros

Employee loan program, employee discount, co workers and customers.

Cons

There is a definite feeling of bitterness from upper management that they have to deal with a union workplace. I’ve worked with doctors and high level administrators in my other positions and my Powell’s co workers were some of the most intelligent people I’ve ever worked with. It’s really too bad that upper management did not seem interested in taking the advice of their frontline workers more into consideration.
