Pros

I worked the deli, respected and like the Deli Manager, and had a good experience learning more about the food and the industry.

Cons

Lack of full time hours, rush to help customers verses time to get everything right, a lot of distance between local and corporate, not a lot of communication with the union in my 3 months there, it can be a challenge to keep standards up when it is busy, not much of an employee break space, difficult to see expired food go to waste, balancing a sufficient and winning stock strategy against the problem of shrinkage due to perishing food.
