Pros

The pay is alright for the work.

Cons

Incompetence at management and district manager levels. Most of these are children incapable of doing a simple job such as ordering the right shirts or scheduling the correct hours of work. They literally took anyone with a degree and it shows with the sheer number of mishaps at the corporate level. All they care about is having sex and wasting their paychecks. Working with these little kids has been one of the worst times of my life. Halfway through my training, many managers and even some district mangers were fired from the company due to lewd facebook posts. How ridiculous can you get? Also, have fun driving to their "training center" located an hour and a half away from your house. Don't worry, they pay a pittance for mileage and will do everything in their power to prevent you from wasting their money. Your coworkers are usually alright. There are a few cases of people with their heads so far up their butts that they'll drink down anything management tells them to "get ahead" in the grocery business. What a joke Oh. Don't expect to have a life. They demand five day a week training, even if you live an hour and a half away. For six weeks. Do the math.

Pros

Benefits are excellent, most people at the peer level are great. Clear performance expectations. Decent cross functional communication

Cons

Company leadership very European and doesn't quite understand the American consumer even after being in the US so long. Unreasonable expectations are the norm. No upward mobility unless you are European or speak fluent German.
