Pros

Steady job. The food industry is a safe line of work - Just think, everyone needs to eat! Job security. Great business plan Corporate strategy is well planned Significant market share The place has gotten better since I've been there (not implying that I, personally, made the difference)

Cons

Management is incompetent and dishonest/disrespectful to each other as well as employees Little/Poor training The hours are brutal Forget about balancing work and life schedules! Vacation must be taken a full week at a time - 2 weeks a year until you've been there 5 years If your mom dies, expect to get written up for missing a day - cause you won't be allowed to take the day off (unless it happens to fall during one of your weeks off) Irrational expectations - want you to do everything, but not give you the necessary resources Significant turnover, both in supervision and warehouse personnel - Surprised? It is OK to cuss out your supervisor, everybody does it! - Very unprofessional environment

Pros

• Generally work with fantastic people. • Work is not difficult, and time flies when busy. • My bosses collaborated with me to create a schedule that worked, as I often had other commitments. • Overall, a pleasant work experience most days. Get good at what you do and you'll do fine.

Cons

• Some of the senior management was less friendly than others - as to be expected. • Days were very volatile; some could be extremely easy, and others could be a nightmare. • Scheduling was kept rather limited; although I was able to get the hours I wanted, often times management would look to cut hours from departments whenever possible, leaving less support.
