Pros

Fellow co-workers are very hard working and extremely friendly. The work atmosphere is extremely good. The customer service they provide is excellent.

Cons

The entry level positions do not fully prepare you for all of responsibilities. The hours they give you at the entry level position are terrible. They use loop holes with work time that make them not have to give you a break.

Great place to start, but often a dead end.

Pros

Full time positions offer good benefits (ins., dental, life) and vacation time after many years. I've got 5 weeks plus 5 personal days plus sick time after 25 years of being there. Pay is okay, other grocery chains pay more. Department managers make good money (35000 to start) and store managers much more. Depending on the store you are in, managers can be your best friend or make it difficult for you. Work conditions are good. Working mostly inside, clean, climate controlled, most employees are good people and easy to get along with.

Cons

After to reach "top of scale" your pay raises end and you receive a a lump sum check. I and many others I work with have not had a raise in many years which makes adjusting to inflation and economics difficult. After to reach "top of scale" your pay raises end and you receive a a lump sum check. I and many others I work with have not had a raise in many years which makes adjusting to inflation and economics difficult. It's a typical retail schedule, meaning you work weekends hours can be all over the place for some people....6 a.m. to 2 one day and 11-7 the next, etc. Things have changed since Del Haize purchased the company.
