Pros

Excellent benefits; an excellent work environment where everyone is in it together and works for the success of the whole; profit sharing ("Gainsharing") that benefits everyone based on their sales efficiency/productivity per hours worked; excellent opportunities for moving up appear all the time; and constant encouragement from management to take that next step to move up - everyone truly cares.

Cons

The clientele at Whole Foods is much more demanding than that of conventional markets. You must be able to embrace the idea that the customer is always right and that nobody but the store manager has the authority to say no. You must always find a way to make someone happy.

Pros

They offered good health insurance plans. They also had a good salary and position ladder.

Cons

Upper management and HR at this location are extremely ineffective at problem solving. If you are a worker here or plan to be, for your sake please document everything and have written and logged communication of incidents. Be careful with fictitious, unfair, and biased write ups. Ask management to be clear about communication and have them provide a written statement of their complaints and make sure they give you the opportunity to rectify mistakes that happen due to inadequate and inconsistent training. They will pull you upstairs with verbal accusations so that they can control the narrative. Management will work together to gaslight and get you fired if they do not like you. Management also has favorites that they look out for and turn a blind eye to. They are not effective at correcting behavior from team members, shift leads, etc.
