Pros

Free single roll of sushi per shift. You work inside of Whole Foods Market.

Cons

Upper management did nothing to fix multiple serious cross contamination issues or any other issues. Practically no one at my location has any Serve Safe/Food Handling Certifications. Company claims pay & benefits are comparable to Whole Foods. Pay is significantly lower than starting wages at Whole Foods and company benefits are non existent due to Upper Management always forgetting to fill out the proper paperwork. Upper Management then says we have to wait a year to reapply for benefits.

Pros

Pay was pretty good, free lunch is nice, the whole foods staff were always friendly. Life and accident insurance were a nice bonus. Really easy if you've got a decent team. No late nights, great if you're a morning person. If you're willing to drive a lot, dedicate a lot of time, and manage there's probably some career opportunities. I have 0 desire to manage so I didn't do any of that.

Cons

Was overworked and micromanaged. Had days where I was scheduled to work alone with high production goals and unreasonable expectations. On days I wasn't alone, I was constantly badgered to be producing at all hours, even if we were done early, but also not to produce too much? Strange to have a job that doesn't want me to be efficient, but then demands it other times. Management kept bugging us to increase sales but there is literally nothing we can do about that, since we're just a kiosk in a whole foods and have 0 control over if people actually want to shop at whole foods that day. Also the health insurance is hilariously bad. A checkup and vaccines, and absolutely nothing else is covered.
