Pros

I worked at the bottom-tier, retail level. It paid. That's the most a late teen with no skills could possibly expect, really; and I was grateful for what it was. "Never work for a company willing to hire you," at least at that age.

Cons

Viciously abused the WOTC in hiring practices. Don't expect to be employed (at the lowest levels, it's obviously different higher up) for more than a few months. Now, this may not be fair, for all I know there might be no other way to run a grocery chain. If you're a loser with no skills, it still beats the heck out of unemployment.

Pros

-Rotating Weekends (Work Sat/Off Sun then Off Sat/Work Sun) -Flexible Scheduling

Cons

-You are expected to do a lot of work for very little pay -Being promoted is extremely unlikely and any wage increases is purely for inflation, not because they think you deserve it. -If you do not fight for higher wages they will not give it (I knew someone who has worked full-time in the deli for years longer than I, but somehow he made less than me) - Deli Management is very clique like, the assistant store manager has many complaints filed against him. -Expected to work holidays, no holiday pay or overtime (ever)
