Pros

Great for when you're in school

Cons

No benefits to "C" employees, which is all that they hire now. Keep cutting hours in every department, so more work with less staff equals unhappy customers and staff. Extremely poor communication between head office and stores, and between management and staff. Have decided that we will not be getting more than 24 hours a week, meaning that in order to make ends meet, a second job is required. Union is a joke, not sure why we even have to pay dues. They never respond or answer the phone.

Pros

Good part time job while going to school or to work at evenings/weekends while raising a family.

Cons

Pay scale is low and takes way too many hours (years) to get 10 cent raise. Not always easy to get a random weekend off. It takes a long time to get training in other areas other than the till, such as the cash office. Some staff are over worked and trained in many areas while others just work the till and can have a lot of down time - seems unfair for the same pay for those over worked and unfair to those who want to learn more but keep getting promised they will soon but never get scheduled to learn more.
