Pros

Even part-time coworkers can receive benefits, which is awesome. The company itself treats you really well. It's like they realize retail is horrible and want to make it as easy for you as possible. I also find that the other coworkers are usually great and a lot of fun to work with. There's rarely people I can't stand working with.

Cons

Dealing with the public. This is the biggest one. There's no really effective way for me to describe how terrible this is. Also, coworkers are given goals to try and achieve throughout the year. Sometimes these goals aren't bad, but other times they can be completely ridiculous. Plus it's hard to even work on them to begin with since you usually have other more urgent things to do.

Pros

Have Good culture and values

Cons

Poor management - they promised you something but never delivered. Favouritism - only choose people that they like eventhough they are incapable of doing their job. Strips off benefits - taking away the benefits that the worker once had until nothing is left. Politics - too many politics among co-workers and management. Unappreciated - all good workers are under appreciated by the managers. Low salary - offers below average salary No growth - you can work for 10 years but no promotion given. Toxic - management never listen to the co-worker problems

Pros

Benefits are out of this world good if you’re FT from cheaper than average health/dental/vision to Christmas parties and sick time as well as an average accumulation of PTO of 2-weeks worked: 1.5-days PTO Company strives to be inclusive and sustainable Chances for learning and growing so long as you don’t intend to stay in one area to accomplish it

Cons

Managers often are treated as untouchable even when they’re wrong. “Favorites” are promoted and become “co-worker of the month” over and over even when lesser known employees are nominated. Managers often fail to listen to long time employees causing problems within the department and a lack of trust. Micromanaging is a huge problem in food.
