Pros

Management is really nice, however some lack some good communication skills and public speaking abilities. Really flexible with hours although they do require you to sacrifice a lot of weekends because that's when they receive most of their business. Managers positions get paid well and have excellent benefits, but do work long hours.

Cons

It is retail therefore a lot of working weekends is required. If your a family man/woman it will be difficult for the family. Also, holidays are a bear to get off as it is the busiest time of the year for the grocery business.

Pros

Paid breaks. Can be lazy and get the same pay as a hard worker.

Cons

Your high efforts are not rewarded. Benefits only include the time you put into retail that can be considered experience. Although you have the title for a specific position you will still be forced to complete tasks of another position. Although I was a checker, I was also put on hot food line, samples, cart duty, cleaning bathrooms, cleaning spills, watching self check out, stocking, and many more. Any sense of enjoyment with other coworkers gets shut down quick by management. Availability can be ignored by management. Lots of drama with coworkers. No penalty for inappropriate and unprofessional work. Management cares about business more than employees even though it is “employee owned”.
