Business outlook
Pros
If you like a non-standard work week (Mon - Fri) and non-standard work schedule (8am - 5pm), then retail grocery is for you. As a co-manager, scheduled 6-day work weeks and 10-hour rotations were the norm.
Cons
Most management has risen through the grocery ranks from bagger or checker with little outside work experience. Skewed sense of home life / work life balance. Punch the clock mentality even among management.
