Pros

Training was extensive and promises looked great! Training manager was very attentive and nice!

Cons

I did not know they had a point system for being two minutes late. I did not know they only provided 1/2 hour lunch schedules. When I interviewed on the phone I was told it was possible to pick up my child after school to take her home on my lunch break. I couldn't do it in 30 minutes, because her school was on the other side of town. When I told the manager I would not be taking the position, she became angry, short tempered, sarcastic and belittling. This behavior was in total contrast to what behavior they expected from their employees..All I could think was lies, lies, lies...before this happened I would shop on occasion at Winco, Now NO THANKS! I will shop somewhere else.

Pros

Great coworkers and managers. The products are great and I loved that I was able to offer great customer service. Moving up and around in the company is easy, positions are always opening up because the company continues to expand. They also have an employee share program

Cons

The hours can be sketchy, depending on the department you're in. Some weeks can be higher than others. The workload is also heavy and the expectations are high but manageable.
