Pros
Bristol Farms is a "Great" company to work for if you enjoy working with the public. The customers appreciate good service and the great foods Bristol Farms provides; their gratitude turns work into fun! I find working with creative, talented employees rewarding; throw in teamwork and positive attitudes and who could ask for more? The varity of career opportunities for those seeking advancement are more extensive than one might imagine are available in a retail operation. Bristol Farms not only promotes from within, they offer extensive training oppurtunities along with raises for completing the education courses they offer. Managment oppurtunities are posted and employees who express an interest in advancement are encouraged to apply. Many of the company's leaders began in entry level positions. If you do the work, gain the knowledge and are determine to succeed, opportunities will present themselves.
Cons
It's retail 1/ Expect to spend much of your holiday time with co-workers. It's not all bad we actually have fun! 2/ Occasionally you get an upset customer; fine tuning your ability to satisfy a customer is a must! 3/ For those hired on as part time but seeking full time employment quickly you'll need to have the right attitude, work hard, have a thirst for learning all about food and have the ability to provide excellent customer service skills.
