multitasked
Hard job for a few people, minimun pay and low exigents.

Decent place to work
Good minimum wage. Good flexible hours to suit employees needs. Friendly staff for most of the time. Weekend shifts are quiet while midweek shifts are busy and go by quickly.
Stressful environment
Long hours/heavy work load with minimum pay. Nice people in food serving sections but clear segregation between floor staff and bakery/deli section. Management put a lot of pressure on staff to get vast amounts of work done with not enough time. More of a student job is needing the money but will not progress above minimum wage here only plus is an hour lunch break.
Great place to learn but no area for promotion
I've worked here for a number of years and in those years I seen alot of staff come and go. With just a few years experience there I am the longest working till assistant. Very little gratitude from management but fellow staff and supervisors are an amazing team when giving any task. Completely new change in managment and co-managment left work environment uneasy and sometimes hostile as targets and expectation have been raised to an unbeatable level.
Pros
30% discount on pricey deli
Cons
No gratitute, prices on everything, level of work expected
Excellent

Non productive, arrogant & unpolite head manager, low salary, no contract, bad atmosphere
Low salary, bad shifts, awful team communication, less hours then agreed.
Non productive atmosphere.
Very arrogant, unpolite and aggresive head manager.
If you'll plan to je "part' of this "team", get ready for a pinch of discrimination, arrogancy and bullying from your bosses mostly, but some of your coulegges won't make an exemption as well..
1year probation without any kind of contract
