      Mediocre to awful post merger

      Grocery manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Pay is competitive for grocery. Benefits are good. Can get a lot of OT at certain locations. Union for hourly employees gives you some leverage.

      Cons

      Corporate management lost merger is a disaster. A lot of awful store managers in neglected store's get away with way too much. Way too much time spent trying to reinvent the wheel instead of just being in the business of selling things people want and need for a good price.

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Mostly smart and caring co-workers, is the company's saving grace. A lot of hours available even for those that only wanted part time due to high turn over. Pressured to work off the clock to meet deadlines on account of corporate's punitive stance on overtime so I guess that makes it a "Right to Work" safe space.

      Cons

      Short-sighted managers that followed clueless and unrealistic corporate directives to untenable ends. Belligerent customers were regularly appeased with gift cards ensuring frequent chaos and disruption on a regular basis. High turnover of employees in general and experienced long-timers in particular. Employee loyalty was not rewarded at the retail level. Advancement opportunities are closely tied to you having friends in high places.
