Weird place to work

Pros

10% discount for groceries for employees and their family

Cons

This company REALLY lacks diversity and culture. Some of the store managers think way too highly of themselves and have huge egos. Working here felt like it was going to crush my soul. Hard to take it so seriously also when so many employees are die hard festival fans. It’s a grocery store, you’re not curing cancer, calm down.

Worst place ever

Pros

I do not have anything positive to say about this company, or its C.E.O. They company treats people like trash.

Cons

If I listed all the cons, I would be here all day. It says alot about a company when you lose 5 good employees from a meat dept. in the same week. There is no leadership there at all, and all the owner cares about is money. They discriminate against their employees and get away with it. Unless you have a really brown nose and are on the buddy system, don't ever plan on going anywhere. You can go from being a grinder and sausage maker, knowing absolutely nothing about cuts of meat to being an assistant just like that, if your friends with all the high ranking people. They think offering a .10 cent raise per year is something to be proud about, what a joke. The way they heap up the service case is disgusting, all that meat just sits in there everyday then goes right back out the next day. I guess if you like crappy stuff for way too much money, shop festival foods.

Gone Corporate

Pros

Great first job ESOP if you can make it to retirement They can be very flexible with non manager schedules.

Cons

Family grocer that has gone Corporate Constantly under staffed by design they have gutted labor hours out of most departments to save money. Worst pay per position compared to other grocery/department stores Salaried as management and you will be expected to work 50+ hours a week even though your pay is based on 40 hours because being short staffed but they will spew work/life balance and then immediately complain if you aren't working tons of hours. Constantly being blamed at store level for upper managements mistakes.
