Pros

the employees are awesome, kind, and caring the employee benefits are helpful close to where i live pays the bills pay scale is very nice

Cons

#1. Way too busy for the amount of staff we have. #2. You get rude customers that expect you to be all knowing in the checkstand #3. You never EVER have a stable work schedule. you work a 3-11:45 day and then the next day you are there at 8 in the morning. #4. Very hard on the body and mind. #5. If you are 5'7" or taller you could potentially have back problems because the bags at the checkstand are so low you are consistently bending over with just about every order. #6. No baggers!!! #7. They will sometimes have you to cashier despite originally coming in that day to parcel. They also have a tendency to forget this, which requires you to call and remind them of your current position. #8. You are also sometimes left with no breaks due to their negligence.

Pros

If you have good relationship with your manager and you can trust them to have your back, it is an amazing place to work, and you will find success easy.

Cons

If you have lost the confidence of your manager, or have bad communication with your manager, it makes it very hard to be seen and be successful.
