Pros

Pay is excellent compared to other places Lower level managers are generally very communicative, lenient, and effective Depending on the job and manager on duty, atmosphere can be very relaxed Management is very willing to work with employees when it comes to scheduling. Very nice for college students

Cons

Some stores are run by stereotypical management types that don't have a problem lying to employees in order to avoid confrontation Depending on the store, working a lower level job like helping hands makes you feel like you are on a chain gang. Not allowed to talk to other employees, listen to music in one ear, or take even a 5 minute break without announcing it to everyone

Pros

Gives you plenty of hours and pays well. When I interviewed for my job at the City Ridge Wegmans in DC, I asked for the highest possible starting salary (which I believe was $21 per hour at the time) since I had experience in that exact position for about 3 years beforehand, and they gave it to me without much pushback. The annual salary increases really reward sticking around too, I had capped out at the maximum salary for my position at $22 per hour by the next year. They also once adjusted that annual increase to a dollar rather than 50 cents for all employees (I believe it was around 2023?) due to the economy being crap.

Cons

Not a lot of room for growth. If you want any sort of management training, you REALLY have to push for it. I struggled to even migrate outside of my own department, they really want to keep people where they are for the most part, unless you have friends in the right places who can advocate for you. Networking really is everything. Also, this is either a pro or a con depending on your perspective, but they really pack in the hours. I often struggled to feel like I had any time for myself, but that's also just what having a full time job feels like.
