Good organizational team spirit

Cons of working at Stew Leonard's

Salaries in this industry do not support life. At these prices, Stew Leonard should supply housing to his employees for free. I visited the most successful dive shop in the world located on a remote island in Thailand and the owners built a resort and built housing for the employees, who otherwise would be in tin shacks.

more salary or benefits could help in the current inflationary environment.

What's the diversity at Stew Leonard's like?

It is good to work in a non discriminatory environment and I think Cumberland Farms does a great job at it!
