Great organization. Great place to work. Great vision from leadership. Great diversity. Honors commitments. Does things the right way. Awesome place

Cons

24/7. Honor holidays for team members. Lines of communication to associates could be better. Pay for hourly team members could also be improved. Take better care of the foot soldiers

Pros

Most co-workers can be fun, able to put in for days off or availability. Schedule are flexible as long as you tell your team leader in advance.

Cons

If you're a new store and started at minimum wage, don't be surprised if new employees are hired in with a larger salary than you are. I opened a new store and because of minimum wage going up as state law, I lost two of my raises essentially. I'm making 8.75 an hour and new people are being hired in at 10 an hour or more. It's not right when we busted our behinds to open a new store and stuck through it since and this is how we're treated. Remarkable program is a joke unless you're in service so it sounds like a good thing, but you'll rarely get your card signed. If anything, the harder you work, the more work they'll give you. Also, most members of management are worked really hard, almost 50 hours a week. The pay is decent for them, but since they're non-union, the company can work them as much as they want.

Pros

Probably will not go out of business in the next 10 years. If your are willing to cut the throat of your coworkers take constant threats from unqualified managers above you you can rise quickly in the company.

Cons

Where to start? Local management has no education in management at all. People are chosen to move up in to management by how well they blame other employees or keep quiet and take all the verbal abuse and threats from their superiors. Managements solution to any problems is to push their employees until they quit without taking any responsibility to help solve the problem. Employees are pushed to make up for slower employees even if it means having to do several positions at once. Management shows no respect to employees by berating and threatening them in front of other employees and customers. Employees are threatened constantly to be solely responsible for procedures, equipment and security in areas they have no or little control over. Corporate policy changes that take away your pay and make you take more responsibility with no increase in pay. Has eliminated job titles that would include better pay at other companies and forces lower level employees to perform said functions of management. Force to meet deadlines by not taking breaks or lunches. Consistently threatened to have hours cut when unable to reach assigned deadlines or goals. Forced to make up for employees that have specific medical restrictions. Their are no team members here. It is every man for himself. (As told by the Grocery Lines Leader when asking for assistance). Hires part-time seasonal (college kids) and cuts the hours of their regular employees whenever possible.
