Pros

Salary was good and co-workers were great to work with.

Cons

Upper management doesn't respect anybody. Expected to be salary and work 60 hours a week while getting paid for 40. Stores are closing rapidly doing the same things Winn Dixie did that shut them down. No respect for where you have been and what you have done. Very much a who you know type situation to get promotions. Bonuses use to be really good now pretty much non existent as well are raises.

Pros

They (management) can be reasonable at times, such as with your breaks and scheduling.

Cons

My current management isn't giving me enough hours to be even decently sustainable, yet they have open-shifts available that they could assign to anyone, so why not give those hours to people who are severely underscheduled? If you want your workers to work for you, treat them right and compensate them fairly, and stop expecting them to come in everytime you text them just because someone else called out, maybe you need to give the people who constantly call out less hours because they aren't being reliable, and you need to give more hours to the people who do come to work and get things done, because they've proven to be reliable and willing to come in on their assigned days.
