  • Best thing

    I get paid really well to work at a grocery store.

    Worst thing

    The bullying, sexual harassment, total lack of communication from leadership, retaliation if you have disciplinary action, no development, total lack of empathy, unsafe work practices, they pay out hush money to prevent class action lawsuits, play favoritism.

  • Best thing

    Without a doubt the people I work with including managers. Everyone gets a long and there's just such a great positive atmosphere. We get treated with respect and are cared for and get treated like they actually know what we're going through.

    Worst thing

    Customers and be a lot but that's anywhere in customer service.

  • Best thing

    The benefits are great (though from what I understand they have been reduced throughout the years) and the people you work with are almost always fantastic. The schedule is typically quite flexible and they are empathetic when you need to make changes. Also on Sundays we are paid more because it's an insanely exhausting day no matter the shift.

    Worst thing

    It is incredibly unsafe. Our store orders more than it can safely store and this leads to crew members dropping boxes on their heads or having to lift things from unsafe angles and also no way to move through the backroom without doing an obstacle course that OSHA would HATE. Also the corporate culture has started to suck all of the personality from our stores on a Crew level. The store practices & policies, dress codes, and communication about individual crew member issues has been abysmal for the past 2 years.
