The problems cascade from the top - Administrative Central Market Employee Review

Pros

Absolutely nothing. Hated every second of it.

Cons

Central Market claims to put their partners first. I spent years working tirelessly for them through a pandemic and they turned their backs on the people that kept the store running. They toss aside the experienced partners for the cheaper labor. Slowly, the perks that made Central Market a competitive business began to fade and they had no qualms with the shrinking bottom line. The General managers are all politics and no action. They all have a god complex. Don’t expect them to protect the welfare of employees, rather they would choose to bend over backwards for abusive guests before standing up for what’s right. Avoid this sink hole like the plague.

Pros

The unique events, although they get VERY busy.

Cons

Poorly run management. There is no room for promotion if you hold your managment team accountable. They absolutely do not want to be told what they need to improve on. I believe as a whole, Central Market needs to improve communication. I have seen way too many situations that could have been avoided if someone would have just communicated with their team. Entirely way too much favoritism and a huge lack of professionalism. People can(and will) sass and belittle you but if stand up for yourself, they take offense. There are entirely way too many managers that would choose favorites over someone who works extremely hard for little pay. Over the last few years, I have noticed the continued lack in quality of our food products. I have even personally gotten food poisoning a few times.
