Pros

Decent wage, good team interaction at store level.

Cons

Constant pressure, store managers seem to be prehistoric yet defended by area managers. Lie to get you through door with little to no progression as many area management and store management taken on externally.

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.
