Pros

Very little, if any. The suburban stores pay $2 to $2.50 less than Chicago. You will be earning less than a person straight out of High School with no experience. Avoid suburban stores and Union 881

Cons

Nearly two years of working 26 to 30 hours per week and they still will not give me health insurance. However, they can throw away over $1000.00 per day in "expired" or "damaged" food. I have taken photos everyday for a year which I will publish in a book about the grocery industry. Our employee discount dropped to 5% while prices throughout the store increased over 15%

Pros

Fun Job. Time flies when working. Learn new skills.

Cons

Management does NOT care about you only the work you do. You will be overworked and underpaid. Very little training and they expect you to know everything within a couple weeks. Managers are lazy and will put their work on you! Work place is full of drama and creepy people that HR looks the other way because of 'popularity'. This is not the only location with problems the whole company is a mess. Constantly switching out district managers. Ops were horrible, they would come boss everyone around to try to make the shop look perfect in 1 shift, often making a lot of people miss their breaks and work overtime. Frozen loads and products would go to waste due to miscommunication between managers and no one seemed to ever want to fix any problems. Extremely low morale and high turnover. Stay far away from this place unless you're really sure you're only staying a while.
