Pros

Their stores are nice and clean. The other employees also seemed very nice, as did some managers (not all). Their 4% retirement fund matching is better than many chains offer.

Cons

They did not pay very well compared to other grocery stores. I was offered a dollar over minimum wage (less than I had been making at a competitor) and they needed store manager approval to pay me that much. That was more my issue than the pay itself, that such a minimal amount needed higher approval seemed ridiculous. Their training materials seemed very heavy on associate dishonesty and the fact that their cameras are always watching. I did not get the impression they trusted their employees at all. Also, cashiers were expected to be on call one day a week, meaning that you must call in at a certain time and they will then tell you if you have to work that day. I'd never heard of this in a retail environment, especially for a position like cashier.

Pros

You get paid every week.

Cons

• They talk to you like you're stupid. • Their tone becomes more aggressive when you don't brown nose them. • They don't lead by example nor implement any teamwork. • They make daily operations more difficult to complete as a flex. • They disguise their racism towards employees as company policy institution. • They become spiteful when you don't fall in line and take out their frustration on your workers while store management look the other way. • They talk negatively about you in group chats and emails. • They pretend to be inefficient when they don't want to help. • They harass & imprison your workers as soon as you clock out (by eyewitness accounts). • Management will sabotage your evaluation, hire special needs people for critical thinking jobs, & accept underperforming associates from other stores just to save money. • Higher-ups will deny qualified applicants employment while conspiring to hire the children of old classmates who purposefully show up to work late. • Store management will physically assault minors who steal on the premises and act openly racists to shoppers of color.
