Pros

Health insurance, 401k, Christmas bonus, and vacations. Pretty fair pay compared to other grocery stores. Outside of front end positions, working in other departments in the store are more favorable. When you have a good store manager it makes all the difference in the world. Good managers know how to get the store working together as a team.

Cons

Management for the most part is incompetent, most stores are not run very well. Management seem to focus on very short term goals instead of any large picture at all. Available hours are usually burned up in the beginning of the year and as a result, at the end of the year a lot of hours are cut.

Pros

Weekly pay. Nice co-workers. Mostly nice customers.

Cons

Hardly got to shop any orders due to (1) there hardly being any and/or (2) a certain manager shopping ALL the orders instead of delegating some, as she should have. Dead times as casheirs was a major downside for me, personally. Despised them. Managers being stupid (some and sometimes)/micromanaging. CSM is not the best at her job (though she is mostly nice) and screws up schedules and other things. They can take away your hours out of nowhere. Newer people WILL get brought on with higher pay than you. Hate the company. Used to treat their workers a lot better, I hear. Give more benefits and bonus's and things. Now you get jack all.
