Pros

They compete in an exciting growing industry. As people realize how much better Organic and Natural food can be for you, there is potential growth.

Cons

It is a very disconnected community. Once you get hired in you are basically just a peon in anyones eyes with senority.

Pros

Free stuff and a decent employee cafeteria

Cons

Directors and above are lacking and managment skills (99% would not be in leadership positions in any other Fortune 500 company) Passive/agressive leadership Gossip and backs tabing is common at all levels Being "thrown under the bus" is a daily event No clear leadership or direction - treat employees wiht 20-30 years of experience as idiots simply because they're not at the "director level" as if once you acheive that title you gain infinite wisdom (HA) Current culture carries over from wholesale (kickpacks, vendor favoritism run rampant) Too much power given to the banners Too many people think they have the "D" (decision} but no one is in charge! Spin, spin, spin Very top heavy and not enough worker bees

Not such a good place to work

Business Outlook

Pros

The people I worked with were great and knowledgeable. It was close to home, and it paid most of the bills.

Cons

I always felt that management was looking for ways to pass blame on to the employees. It is still the only place I have worked where I felt that my manager was in direct competition with me, rather than filling is role in a way that I could better fill my own.
