      Frozen/Dairy Clerk

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Flexible hours, decent assistant managers, fair pay for job title and experience, benefits for full time, 401k retirement plan, promoting from within.

      Cons

      Pay is low for lower-tier employees. Lots of high-school students, which translates to working with not so sophisticated people. Deadlines, lots of pressure to fill shelves quickly. Upper management gets upset with the grunts when something is outside of your control, and, on occasion, treats you like you're stupid. Lots of time on your feet and moving quickly. Under-employed for the most part; clerks from every department are called up to check or courtesy frequently. Difficult to keep product flowing quickly out of storage to the sales floor due to lack of employees.

      Customer Service

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Employee-owned, so your wage will always be higher than minimum wage when you start.

      Cons

      Upper management is very condescending and expects you to know everything about your job within an unreasonably short time period. Assistant managers (your daily bosses) are one big clique of 25-year-olds who hang out together on the weekends and very obviously choose favorites and treat the employees not favorited as less than. General feeling of stupidity when not doing something perfectly due to the way you're spoken to.

      Good Lower Level Management, Poor Upper.

      Chinese food clerk
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Extremely flexible hours. Boss is kind and helpful and always makes sure you are doing ok. Any dissatisfaction can be handled by any sort of management. Lower level management positions are filled by in-store employees who know the business, are kind,and helpful.

      Cons

      Upper level management gets unnecessarily greedy and attempt to cut hours and make on occasion force you to punch out to avoid going over hours. Raises are scarce.
