Pros

Pay is competitive for grocery. Benefits are good. Can get a lot of OT at certain locations. Union for hourly employees gives you some leverage.

Cons

Corporate management lost merger is a disaster. A lot of awful store managers in neglected store's get away with way too much. Way too much time spent trying to reinvent the wheel instead of just being in the business of selling things people want and need for a good price.

Pros

Friendly and helpful colleagues, weekly pay and flexible schedule

Cons

When it is busy, it is very busy. Lunch/Break may get pushed back or even denied in extreme cases because there is no one to cover for you.
