Business Outlook

Pros

Good benefits, health and dental, decent people,

Cons

Wakefern itself should scream CON. People are treated poorly. Favoritism is the biggest corruption in that company. rules change by hour. if you call out 1-59 minutes before your shift even starts with a family, medical or any issue arises you are getting an unpaid, unexcused absence. The stress the job gives for the pitiful 20-40 cent raises an Awful pay isn’t worth it.
