This was my very first employer. They helped me develop a professional work ethic and provided many new opportunities.
Pros
This company offers competitive pay & benefits, flexible hours, ample opportunity for promotion, vested stock options, and access to an employee credit union. The workforce is diverse including personnel from all age groups and ethnic backgrounds. It also brings together professionals from many different backgrounds in order to provide their customers the best customer service and grocery products available at affordable prices.
Cons
Managerial promotions typically require relocating to a different town since bylaws discourage workers from managing any store in which they trained. Each store usually has a number of managers working at any given time. Lower level employees can find themselves caught between the opinions of two or more competing views or management styles which can be challenging, especially when worker evaluations are pending.
