Pros

Co-workers are wonderful. Deli/Bakery manager is awesome.

Cons

Foreign owned company. They chew you up & spit you out. Management could not care less about employees. Company expects employees to do work of 2 people, but pay 1/2 of what they should. I feel sorry for the poor souls who HAVE to work there; I am leaving in a week after working there for four months. I am so much better than this crappy job. This was a supplemental job to pay off some bills; I would have stayed longer if the company treated me better and the pay was equal to the work I performed. They rip their employees off. Company profits are the only priority. This company is despicable.

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.
