Pros

good part time job while in school. relaxed atmosphere. Not many pros. However if you are making a career out of grocery retail this company is a better employer than their competitors

Cons

no room for advancement, even after completing a four year degree. Most of management is not at all professional, and many are not formally educated. Nepotism is common place.

Pros

All holidays except Easter are paid. Christmas and Thanksgiving have two days off. Professional environment Great opportunities for feedback from managers Opens and closes at fairly reasonable times (8pm on weekdays, 7pm on weekends) Opportunities for growth within the company Union

Cons

Not all management is good and cares about their team/store Those in skilled positions (like fruit cutter or trimmer in produce) can easily get stuck in their jobs Schedules are currently being made by Logile with management input. It is a poor system and should never have been implemented. There are plenty of studies available about the negative impacts of using machine learning systems for making schedules for human beings. While Heinens pays more than many, it is still not a living wage for full time employees. Union
