      Pros

      +Decent pay for a retail position. +4-6 weeks of annual paid holiday. +Sick pay scheme (around 10-12 days).

      Cons

      -50+ hour working week for management roles. -Unpaid breaks. -Terrible work/life balance. One day you might be working in the morning and the next closing the store until just before midnight. -Your experience will vary A LOT depending on which store you reside in. Store managers can make your life hell. -A lot of behind the scenes corner cutting and favoritism by the store management.

      Pros

      Intelligent engaged people, Modern offices, Decent pay, and good retirement benefits.

      Cons

      Growing pains of a European company modifying its business to grow its American footprint. Senior leadership was mostly European. Felt disconnected from American grocery culture.
