Pros

Non-union, overall development opportunities are available, perhaps too easily; benefits package, fair wage

Cons

Store managers are lacking, ineptitude is on the rise as there are no replacements available at this level as expectations and treatment as you develop further up are in need of improvement. They make it very hard to terminate non-performers/leeches

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.
