Vantaggi
Union store. Flexible scheduling. Many nice co-workers and customers. Some of the managers are nice Some part-timers can get health insurance after they have been there for 2 years.
Svantaggi
Company has gone downhill since new company president Ken Diehl took over. Very unorganized these days and the store is not as clean as it used to be. Not enough hours for a lot of us. Union UFCW 881 is a joke and they have not helped its members very much. Most SVT hourly employees get paid way less than Walmart and Target employees. Many UFCW union members make less than $8 an hour. Cedar lake SVT has been without a new contract for almost two years. UFCW has done a very poor job with keeping its members informed about our contract status. Utility clerks are not eligible for health insurance even though they have to outside a lot in bad weather.
