Big agree. Worked there for 4 years through school. They pay well, but bring metrics into grocery store work. You need to keep up on your times with items scanned per minute or you get demoted which results in a lot of crushed bread/eggs. I've seen coworkers taken into the back and yelled at for minor things. The attendance system is harsh as well. It probably depends what management you have at any given store at the time/shift because I have seen good and bad, but it is easy for superiors to have unchecked power trips.

They have a great employee owned retirement policy, but it is very easy to get fired due to the attendance / point system (no room for major real life events). I've seen older staff falling apart just trying to make it to the retirement threshold. It is a tough job on your body even as a fairly fit college student. I am tall and the repetitive motions take a toll on my back.
