Pros

Decent pay You can wear jeans to work

Cons

There are a lot of higher ups who do nothing to help out. If you want to move up, you will get moved around to different stores constantly. The only way to get better pay is to move up into lead or manager roles. High turnover. Really bad store managers. The work is thankless and boring or you have way too much work to do and can never get help or get what you should done. They don't fire people, just move them around. You will get an employee discount, but their prices are so high that you will save more money at Pick N Save, Aldi's, Woodman's, etc. Most employees shop elsewhere. Store has a cultish, brainwashed attitude where they see everything they do is the best, despite stores closing down and people quitting or performing poorly.

Pros

good benefits for full time employees

Cons

They take advantage of you and will work you like a dog for awful pay. I haven't once gotten a single compliment at all since I have started working there. I'm naturally a really hard worker and try very hard to impress and please my higher ups and I have never worked at a place where compliments or positive feedback doesn't exist. I haven't even gotten constructive criticism. However if I do one thing wrong, I don't hear the end of it from my manager and it makes you feel like all the hard work you put into the job is just never enough. They are not flexible at all with scheduling for full time associates. I literally have no control over my schedule all because I want full time with benefits. I honestly hate working at Sendik's. The other associates are really cool but other than that, the job is so not worth the crap pay. There are so many other jobs out there that provide benefits that will not only pay you better, but they will also treat you better and respect you more.

Pros

You don't have to pay for the first polo shirt you get.

Cons

The management treats you like you are dispensable. Don't get sick and call in unless you want your manager to say "well you didn't look sick last week." Really?
