Pros

The management is very nice and flexible when it comes to school and work. They are black and white when it comes to rules and performance. There isn't a grey area to them, but they don't try and make you feel bad about any mistakes in stead, they let you know why it is important to do the things you do right the first time. I worked with some companies before where management can have their head up their asses,but the ones I am working with, have done time with the company and understand the daily stresses that come with life and will work with anyone that needs the help.

Cons

The pay is pretty low compared to some other companies. The hours can be a bit long, going to midnight shifts.

Pros

Good benefits. Great safety training in most areas.

Cons

Low wages. They want more work, less people and less hours to do it in for the same wage. Despite managements saying that they care about our families, the bottom line is that my family comes second or maybe even third to their bottom line.

Pros

Decent pay and good benefits due to the union. Get a discount on store brands. Supportive co-workers, because we're all in the same boat.

Cons

having to read and sign new corporate policy on an almost weekly basis. Secret shoppers (if we all get great scores, they wouldn't have a job!). Lack of good management.
