Pros

It is a place to start your grocery career to learn the business of site operations.

Cons

Slow promotion rate to higher volume stores. Company favors promoting employees who are not ready for the position based on hitting demographic targets.

Pros

General company attitude of work/life balance good. Large stable company that's close to us Central Valley folk to commute to.

Cons

Lower than market pay. Upper management not as polished as you'd find in tech/sillicon valley. Very coporate and political.

Pros

Flexible on vacation, 40 hour work weeks, low stress. You will be surrounded by people with only high school educations, so if you have a college degree you have a good edge over your peers. There's also a nice gym for employees to use.

Cons

Typical big office environment, you have to wear a tie every day. People here can be very stuffy, projects move along very slowly. Hard to initiate change.
