Ok job, store management iffy

Grocery lead

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Health insurance for full time employees is nice. My schedule is pretty regular so I enjoy that.

Cons

At least at my store, management is focused more on profits than people. We don’t have enough equipment, there are severe health code violations that get brushed under the rug, and many members of store leadership don’t care enough to listen to us and resolve issues
