Pros

Lots of hours as we are always short-handed it seems. Leadership is pretty good and will work with you if you show some initiative in wanting to go further with the company. Work is pretty consistent and you are left pretty much on your own once you're given your assignment for the day.

Cons

Pay is not that great...minimum wage to start with small, regular raises. Huge turnover of employees. Always short handed in grocery department so always more to do than can get done in scheduled shift. End time of scheduled shift is somewhat arbitrary as leadership can "ask" you to stay up to a full eight hour shift with almost no, read as 15 minutes, notice and takes a dim view if you don't. Union is a waste and most resent having to pay them every week.

Pros

Direct coworkers were great to work with. I also enjoyed being left to do my work and not babysat by management.

Cons

Management doesn't know what they are doing. Resets and floor plans were regularly not done properly. The store I worked at has a skeleton crew so I never got help (but was expected to stop everything I'm going to go help other departments/areas). Also meaning good luck to any customers needing help, especially when I was the only person working my area of the store, so when I wasn't there, no one was. Management also regularly disappeared into the offices or were on vacation. Also was terminated for reasons outside my control even though I was told they look at the reasons for attendance incidents before termination. Never got to get the FMLA or accommodation to my doctors before being terminated two days after I requested them. Didn't bother asking for a raise either. I did multiple times and got nothing.
