Pros

Union membership guarantees benefits and paid vacation/sick time. With the exception of most management, most everyone pulls their weight. Truly a neighborhood store, with long-standing regular clientele.

Cons

Unethical treatment of employees... Sneaky union-busting tactics... Unqualified management, at the expense of qualified employees (massive turnover)... Sociopathic store directors... And much more...

Pros

I’ve had to work for two metropolitan markets, one in Tacoma (temp) and one in gig harbor. Both had great people working there. I made good friends there and I felt very welcome. Employees who work there get a 20% discount in everything which is nice because the food quality there is great, there’s always something new to try there!

Cons

I would say the pay isn’t great; it’s a step up from working at Albertsons or any other entry job, but it’s not super livable unless you work there for a long time, 5 years plus.
