Pros

-Being able to shop there -Healthcare of some kind

Cons

-Inventory Nightmares! Making your employee's conduct inventory is the dumbest thing I have ever seen. Shrink has been hidden on a massive scale and has snowballed out of control. Anyone coming in will pay for it eventually. -As a manger, you will be expected to cover every position once the employee's 8 hours is up. If they didn't finish because the deliveries came late? Oh well, you're staying until midnight receiving 5 trucks of meat and dry goods by yourself with a forklift. -Restaurant Depot takes forever to reimburse anyone. I have seen it time and time again. In fact, Restaurant Depot owes me a couple of hundred dollars in travel expenses. Found out the paperwork sat on a desk for 3 months and by then, I was over it. -Antiquated equipment that hinders productivity, but Restaurant Depot will just blame the employees. Even having the gall to expect Managers to time these poor souls. You pay them $8 an hour, what kind of workers do you expect?

Pros

Very few. Bonuses are good, are good but they hold it over your head all year. They make it seem like you owe them the world for it instead of "good job, you earned it."Safety Bingo.

Cons

All take and no give. Cliquish. They promote the puppets which leads to untrained ABMs who tell you how to do your job from an email and don't know the departments. The only time you're a manager is when something goes wrong. If someone quits, gets fired or gets stabbed in the store, they won't replace them for months to save on labor, forcing everyone else to pick up the slack. We've worked a 6-7 person department with 3 people so many times I can't even count. They won't repair any faulty equipment that is crucial to your performance or even if it creates a safety hazard. They take better care of the customers than they do their employees, because they're only looking after that almighty dollar. The offer advancement, but it may be better if you're single or willing to move around a lot. This company thrives on shipping people around like pawns in chess.

Pros

Breaks and clock out. I could of enjoyed my job as a cashier at Restaurant Depot, but too many people in charge that have no idea how to manage. It's all about power and authority, not making things run more smoothly and productive. Too many chiefs.

Cons

Disorganized. Too many employees telling me what to do. I felt like I was in a prison. Very hostile work environment. Moral very low. Very outdated system and counterproductive way of doing things. UPC problem a big issue. Having to look up the same code several times a day and being told you can't keep a list of common UPC's. So instead waste the customers valuable time and having to shout "UPC" a thousand times a day. Just plain silly.
