Worst job ever!

Deli clerk

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Weekly pay and not much else to say that is positive.

Cons

Incompetent, abusive and terrible managers with bad attitudes. Broken equipment that never gets fixed , poor sanitation, low pay, low raises (0.05 to 0.25 max), high employee turnover, low morale, nasty customers, no benefits for part-timers and constant hour cuts. Nothing good to say about this company. Just stay away.

Treat you like garbage

Kitchen manager

Business Outlook

Pros

If you are entry level or ten year they love you. Otherwise they will exploit you. If you dont plan on trying in life this job is for you

Cons

Everyone has an ego. Directors and "green shirts" are useless. No support. They cut your hours to the bare minimum to not give you benefits. Promote you with no real power or money. Zero training. Worst managers of all jobs ive ever had. Dont fix equipment. Blame you for their mistakes. Throw away 90% of their inventory yet charge twice as much as whole foods for most the same products and mostly inferior ones. This company should go under. A bunch of spoiled food they reuse. Also ive worked at many stores. They all have failing equipment and negligent managers. Avoid them like the plague.

I'm happy for this job, but...

Business Outlook

Pros

The store locations are conveniently located, and it's very easy for me to get to work. There are certain managers that are very easy to talk to, just for daily support.

Cons

I feel like everything is based on favoritism. I can't have a life based on my pay. I have a lot of experience, and should have been offered more to start. The upper management seems to have forgotten what it's like to work on the sales floor. They expect loyalty from the employees, but don't do the same for us.
