Pros

Union if you are not management. Great paid time off benefits. Shop after work and grab last minute groceries whenever you need to. Associate discount is like making more money.

Cons

Blood, diarrhea, vomit, drugs/junkies...if you are shy of these things don't get into management. Low team engagement. Lots of drama, sleeping around, and back-stabbing among the employees. Managers are more focused on climbing the ladder than leading in the positions they are in. 90 percent of the people I worked with didn't want to work there, were extremely stressed out and angry, and felt that nothing could possibly have a positive effect on their environment.

Pros

Job can be fun and interesting Always something new to learn Lots of personal fulfillment as a manager when things go right

Cons

Unsupportive upper management Toxic work culture, unpaid overtime is rewarded and even expected or forced, even to the tune of multiple weeks in a row with no days off when you are salaried. They claim to support work life balance but even the smallest effort to set boundaries is heavily punished. Not paid as much as we should be for everything we have to do and deal with
