Pros

- the atmosphere is professional and positive - there is some flexibility in how a Perishables Assistant (PA) forms their duties, but the work day is generally routine; minimal surprises in work assignments.

Cons

- training provided by senior team members is not a consistent endeavor once initial training for the position has occurred. - learning does occur, but primarily at moments where continued training should have been part of the development process. - evaluations are performed yearly, with very little mentoring and professional development in between. - structured training is a rarity, but learning about the position will occur over time. - specifically applicable to the PA position, if a TMs background contains experience via a grocery store Produce Department, he/she will be disappointed in the operation of the pFresh concept – it is not a conventional produce/perishables department, nor functions as such; managing Gross Profit is not the focus.

Pros

Willing to work with employees regarding family emergencies, decent health and retirement benefits, decent starting pay, and decent leadership

Cons

Understaffed, unclear guidlines, expect more than what is compensated for, and is still a retail environment.
