Considering they are part of a major grocery and retail union I would think the pay would be better, especially when employees have union dues deducted from their already small pay checks. But once you move thru all the brackets of pay, it's just just the one raise a year, really?. And the raises were something like an 15 cents an hour once a year, if your new you'll get a raise more frequently as you move thru each bracket of pay, depending on your job classification, some go on hours you've worked,other how many months you've worked. I'm not sure about currently, but when I left almost 2 years ago, they were only hiring in at part time minimum wage. Expect to work plenty of nights, weekends, and holidays. I'd say it's suitable for a young student who needs to learn some some basic employment skills, anyone who just wants a little extra spending money, or a retiree that just needs to get out of the house. What do I say? This is your typical low wage work your self silly service job. The deli use to have 10 people but - more. Hardest part of the job: Understaffing makes it so the current workers are doing the job of 2-3 people. They implemented a point system to deter people from being late or missing their breaks, however it's not working out very well and no one has really gotten in trouble for not changing their behavior, I think it's just a band-aid rather than solving the actual issue: Good pay makes good workers. The front-end workers get the most out of the company, while the departments in the background are forgotten (Deli, Meat, and Produce). When particular misconduct occurs, they would rather transfer the employee to a different store rather than fire them (this is the downside to being in a union, it's difficult to fire harassers or incompetent workers). Some grown men there like to talk about young women/girls still in high school in inappropriate ways. Workplace culture: Not great, filled with drama, and sometimes they act like we're in high school despite being fully grown adults. They prefer to complain than solve company issues. Management: Some managers are great, others are rude because they get yelled at for how their workers do but don't acknowledge the understaffing problem, CEO of the company doesn't seem to truly understand how the stores work and expect results without solving problems. What I learned: Problem-solving, managing my time and others, helping customers (customer service), proper food handling, and taking orders by phone or in person, team work, good cleaning practices. Typical day at work: Too much to do and understaffed.
