Pros

Health insurance, 401k, Christmas bonus, and vacations. Pretty fair pay compared to other grocery stores. Outside of front end positions, working in other departments in the store are more favorable. When you have a good store manager it makes all the difference in the world. Good managers know how to get the store working together as a team.

Cons

Management for the most part is incompetent, most stores are not run very well. Management seem to focus on very short term goals instead of any large picture at all. Available hours are usually burned up in the beginning of the year and as a result, at the end of the year a lot of hours are cut.

Pros

They (management) can be reasonable at times, such as with your breaks and scheduling.

Cons

My current management isn't giving me enough hours to be even decently sustainable, yet they have open-shifts available that they could assign to anyone, so why not give those hours to people who are severely underscheduled? If you want your workers to work for you, treat them right and compensate them fairly, and stop expecting them to come in everytime you text them just because someone else called out, maybe you need to give the people who constantly call out less hours because they aren't being reliable, and you need to give more hours to the people who do come to work and get things done, because they've proven to be reliable and willing to come in on their assigned days.
