      Hits and Misses

      Department manager

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Non-union, overall development opportunities are available, perhaps too easily; benefits package, fair wage

      Cons

      Store managers are lacking, ineptitude is on the rise as there are no replacements available at this level as expectations and treatment as you develop further up are in need of improvement. They make it very hard to terminate non-performers/leeches

      Low employee pay and poor working conditions.

      Pros

      It's a decent entry level job, they hire with little experience. Management is friendly at first, and as a stocker they allowed me to be rather independent.

      Cons

      When I started working there I gave them my working availability, and they acknowledged it and were okay with it, and said it was acceptable. Over time, they became more and more dissatisfied with my need to adhere to these guidelines and would in turn begin to cut my hours during time I was available because I could not stay late. I never had more than one day in a row off, no vacation, no sick days, no benefits, no insurance. When costs have to be cut, you are expected to get more work done in lest time, putting a ton of stress on employees across the board. Very poor training of new employees from management. The pay is very low compared to other similar retail supermarkets.

      Pros

      Management very flexible when it comes to getting days off and writing the schedule

      Cons

      Its a grocery store. You have to deal with a lot of customers, many of who think everything is your fault.
