Pros

Good pay (but not worth it for utter lack of work-life balance), corporate car, fun people to work with (if they're American)

Cons

No room to advance if you're not a white male, customary to work upwards of 70 hours per week, very outdated working model, no transparency from leadership leads to gossip culture amongst the "little people", constant last minute projects leave you putting out fires - rather than being proactive - forcing us to wonder if we signed up to be firefighters or work for a retail grocery chain that isn't even open yet in the states, fear mongering company culture, no loyalty to employees - employees seen as expendable, working in volatile and unsafe conditions

Pros

It pay the bills I usually do more hours than my contract

Cons

The tasks are timed very tied...45 m for a bulk over 2 m, 2 hours to sort the whole fruits and vegetables, ect No staff discounts Our Benefits package is a joke. 2 out of 4 A4 paper benefits list are full of gyms discount.

Pros

Lots going on which is exciting

Cons

Many in upper management are from abroad without families or friends here thus work is all they do and they have no respect for anyone's personal lives outside of the company.
