Pros

Because they're union, the wages are ok along with the benefits.

Cons

They run every department on a skeleton crew. They expect you to do the job of three for the pay of one. Seems like all the supervisors are cheating on their spouse with each other. It's gross and ridiculously common at my store. 🤮 There's really ZERO appreciation from corporate, on any level. They want you to shut up and work harder and faster whilst they sit back and make BILLIONS of dollars and RECORD profits from the pandemic. No hazard pay. No protection, (unless we are being visited by someone from the health department or Eco lab, then they make us all scurry and pretend we do it all the time. I refuse to play along 😒). All in all it's a negative environment and customer's make it all that much worse! People are miserable and they WANT you to know it.

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
