Pros

I really liked the people i worked with and management was always very helpful. I also thought there were many chances to move up.

Cons

Salaries were very low in comparison to other companies and if you don't like working directly in the stores, this isn't the job for you.

Pros

The corporate culture is formal yet it is easy to assimilate. Facilities are very nice, and the equipment provided is up to date and high quality. The employees are friendly and will go out of their way to help.

Cons

It appears that some type of a matrix is used to determine promotion based on gender and race attributes. There are target percentages set as goals for the business units. Depending on where you fall on this matrix, it could be difficult to get a promotion. Cost of living raises don't keep pace with inflation.

Pros

Getting to help out the customers can be fun and helps cure boredom while stocking shelves.

Cons

Most managers in all retail/grocery/low pay jobs are stressed out all the time and therefore are not the easiest to get along with at work.
