Pros

1. Job security 2. Co-workers are like family 3. Grocery pay scale 4. Employee discount 5. Associate Appreciation celebration 6. Good customer comment cards

Cons

1. You are only guaranteed 10 hours off between shifts. So if you have to drive an hour and a half to the store you work at you get no sleep. 2. Your schedule changes every week. 3. They are getting rid of full time positions. 4. They know who they want to promote when they post the job. If it's not you don't bother to apply. 5. Pay raises take a very long time. 6. Bad work ethic is left to linger and even manage departments

Pros

If you have good relationship with your manager and you can trust them to have your back, it is an amazing place to work, and you will find success easy.

Cons

If you have lost the confidence of your manager, or have bad communication with your manager, it makes it very hard to be seen and be successful.

Pros

Job can be fun and interesting Always something new to learn Lots of personal fulfillment as a manager when things go right

Cons

Unsupportive upper management Toxic work culture, unpaid overtime is rewarded and even expected or forced, even to the tune of multiple weeks in a row with no days off when you are salaried. They claim to support work life balance but even the smallest effort to set boundaries is heavily punished. Not paid as much as we should be for everything we have to do and deal with
