An awful company to work for

Produce clerk

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- It was close to home, so the commute wasn't an issue - Taught me that it's not how hard you work but who you know

Cons

- Manager didn't care at all, was just trying to reach retirement so left everyone else to pick up the slack. - Manager was unstable war vet who constantly talked about how he wanted to hurt people and how awesome he was in Vietnam. - Upper management of produce hired his friend who had absolutely no clue what he was doing and promoted him over experienced workers. - When everyone in my department quit, I was forced into a management position with no training and absolutely no increase in wage. (what kind of manager makes $9.00 an hour?) When I told them this was unacceptable they told me to deal with it or find another job. I found another job. - Busted my butt for seven years and had absolutely nothing to show for it.

Business Outlook

Pros

Not much at all, Horrible coo and president. Little execution on how to manage and treat the employees. Far more focus on bottom line and profits. (I understand the focus, they dishonesty and underhanded part needs to go) Verbale diahrea If your from A and P or Jewl (two failed companies under their leadership) you don't understand profits or retail execution.

Cons

All of it . Look up at the previous comment, I could keep going. -lack of training and development Empty promises - Ken promised 5 stores a year ( Ken your at negative 1 buddy) Part of their Corp council, how is it possible to have ideas when your executive management team has all the answers?? Answers include (cut labor, cut inventory, raise prices, ...TELL everyone that it's not happening.. ladies and gentlemen that is called liquidating a company for your bottom line and EBITA so the man running the ship looks like a rock star for a few years until the cash stops flowing and they move to another greedy company that would also like to see the same results... (their own pocket books) Please see examples such as A and P and Jewl.
