Business outlook
Pros
Decent work experience for high school students. Camaraderie with co-workers. Decent work environment when you have enough help (not usually).
Cons
Terrible customers. Overly-demanding managers / unrealistic expectations. Lack of communication with management. Not enough support - corporate seems to be subscribing to the idea that the fewer employees on payroll, the better. As a result, more pressure is placed on low-level employees like cashiers/baggers to work extra fast (even if that means skimping on customer service) in order to avoid scheduling more help. (This is why there is usually only 2 employees on the front end when you go to check out your groceries.)
