Coen

This company isn't terrible but would be way better if the people who go promoted actually worked and deserved the positions they're in. This applies to most. Also, better management, compensation, and great communication would do this company well. Communication and accepting responsibility is often discarded. Workers often avoid work which is already not that hard. The constant battle between dayshift and nightshift is a struggle. This will sound bias but most night crews are lazy, incompetent and self absorbed. In my three years of working for Coen there has only been two great night crews and sadly, one was actually a day crew that switched to night temporarily. You can get bounced around often and the work isn't alway consistent. Other than that, the decent people we do have in the office will work with you and help you out the best they can. They're very accommodating. I do have fun at work and enjoy most of those I work with. Working for Coen has allowed me to enjoy some things in life I hadn't been able to before. Overtime hours make up for the average pay and there are decent benefits that go along with it.

Management is great, they understand employees have a life outside of work at work with you as much as they can to make a schedule that works for both you and them. The hardest part about my job is lottery but most people are very patient about it if you explain that you're still learning. Most customers are regulars and you'll learn their names and what they usually get, it's a nice environment. We don't get actual breaks but it's nice because we are paid for the whole time we are there and when you have down time that's when you can check your phone or get something to eat etc. Making the food is fun and overall it's a pretty easy job. My store isn't open late, only until 9. The latest I'm there is about 9:30 and the earliest you have to start is 4:30 AM. My manager is pretty good about scheduling though, so I usually won't have to work an early shift if I worked late the night before. 

Coen's is a cheapskate company, a few months after I got hired they raised the base pay but didn't increase the pay of existing employees and tried to keep it hidden.
When they finally said they would increase pay for existing employees, they used it like a carrot on a stick for seven months, and then severely cut hours right before.
The supplies to do work tasks are cheap and diluted in the case of cleaners.
If you have a good work ethic you will be the one doing everything while your co-workers slack off. If you start doing a task that needs to be done that everyone ignores then it will become solely your job.
When I worked there, there was extreme favoritism for one shift by the store manager, and expect to work by yourself a lot and still expected to get two people's job done.
Health insurance will cost you 1/3 of your net income.

My typical work day involved 10 hr days with no breaks . Fast paced but love that part of a job .Mornings including emptying out safe and lottery for cash deposits , downloading close dailies for the registers to balance , balancing cash drawers for the day , PDI , Handheld scanner downloads , going over all paperwork for previous day , receiving from reps , making orders for store supplies including cigarettes .Etc... Loved it at first but quickly learned it wasn't the company for me . The corporate world did not  like managers asking questions or wanting them to make better stores , Very disappointing . Hardest part of the job was keeping the employees on their tasks and not so nice customers . Most enjoyable part of the job  for me was all my customers and reps , they were always putting a smile on my face .

The company sucks, the benefits are worse and the pay for the work is a joke. This company thinks you can run an mto kitchen and completely close down the kitchen with one person and it should only take an hour. We have the same people repeatedly calling off with no consequence while the others suffer and they make no attempt to get us help, they say we can't hire and we're not short staffed but at any given time one person could be running the entire kitchen for a shift or at least half a shift. The benefits don't cover anything I need and when I got married I was told I can't add my spouse since I'm not management... While I lose 65% of my check to these so calls benefits and they stopped us from being able to get 50% off food. THERE'S NO BENEFIT TO WORKING THIS JOB WHATSOEVER... IT'S A TRAP UNLESS U JUST WALK OUT AND QUIT SINCE IT'S ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO GET FIRED... the managers don't do their job because they don't want their jobs. 

I worked for this company for about five years. No advancement whatsoever no matter how much you bust your hump. Upper management never appreciates or cares about there employees. Management cares about themselves and nobody else. You may get a 10 minute break if you work an 8-9 shift. Don’t count on it though. Terrible hours of operation, who wants to wake up and work at 4:30am for what $10-11/hour. Yeah no thanks. No work/home life balance, expect to work 7 days a week, at a place that you have to stand around and can’t sit down when no customers are in the store. Management also watches cameras from home since they don’t trust their employees. Overall, seems like a good place to work for at first, but until they take advantage of you, you will hate it after that. It’s not worth it, this company is not worth working for. Look elsewhere.

I enjoyed being able to work at my own pace at night.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
I was asked to close the store alone which was fine with me, but after a few months and a handful of scary situations, I requested to not close alone anymore for my own safety, and Ed (my boss at the Level Green location) said that it was not doable and continued to make me close alone. I had to call the police at that location while closing alone 2 times.
