Pros

It was a good place. They do notice hard work and put you into a department which is better than being a cashier. At least the managers and supervisors do. It’s super nice that you only had to stay till 11 though! Unlike other grocery stores, they make you stay very late.

Cons

Like any grocery store they overwork you. Also, the cashiers do not get baggers, so it’s a lot. They definitely don’t hire enough people like other grocery stores. I tried to shake the CEO’s hand and he stared at me like he was offended I was in his presence. Most managers/supervisors are great though!

Pros

Co workers make the job bearable

Cons

Management does not care about it's employees Was harassed by racist employee and when brought up to management nothing was done, was told to just avoid the employee or ignore them Over worked underpaid, and unappreciated. My pay raise was only six cents Little to no room for growth due to favoritism
