Pros

I liked my co-workers. Made many friends. Got some good experience. Moved up quickly. Started as a bagger and left as an assistant manager. and I was able to transfer between stores easily.

Cons

Once I reached the asst. manager position, they started treating me poorly. Everyday I was told I had to stay after my shift ended. I was part time, but preferential time off was given to full time employees. I was called in at least 2 days a week on my days off and if I was busy and told them no my hours were cut the following week. They paid me under $10 an hour and constantly cut my hours to 20-25. They were hiring new dairy clerks in at more than I was making.

Pros

Paid breaks. Can be lazy and get the same pay as a hard worker.

Cons

Your high efforts are not rewarded. Benefits only include the time you put into retail that can be considered experience. Although you have the title for a specific position you will still be forced to complete tasks of another position. Although I was a checker, I was also put on hot food line, samples, cart duty, cleaning bathrooms, cleaning spills, watching self check out, stocking, and many more. Any sense of enjoyment with other coworkers gets shut down quick by management. Availability can be ignored by management. Lots of drama with coworkers. No penalty for inappropriate and unprofessional work. Management cares about business more than employees even though it is “employee owned”.
