Pros

Excellent benefits and good selection of food.

Cons

I had been working at the cambridge location. Our store was really happy until a new captain came. The previous captain was very well liked. Management participates in bullying its crew members to the point of harassment. Managers will lie and fabricate stories to fire or discipline you. Drawers suspiciously come short and crew members have been written up for it. When an investigation is conducted we have found that it was a mate and the captains error. Crews who complain about work conditions, food safety are targeted for discipline. I have watched crew members being followed by sometimes up to three mates. Certain employees never have to go on Register, usually the ones who have orders. Discrimination against gays and disabled. So far our store has several lawsuits under this new management. Expect to be worked to the point of injury and be treated like an outcast when that happens. I can't believe that a grocery store could be full of politics, cattiness and unethical business practices. Good benefits are not worth the constant stress you under. Do yourself a favor go work at Dunkin Donuts.

Pros

Fellow employees - great people ! Health benefits. Intelligent customers.

Cons

Favoritism. Company used to employ each persons strengths, now everyone must fit the same mold - it's all about the perception. Knowledge is no longer an asset.
