Pros

-ability to learn new tasks and take on responsibilities -great way to gain management experience (especially during college) -pride and ownership among the full-time/career-oriented individuals in the company -ability to meet new people, network, and move up

Cons

-the company is very political in regards to reviews, promotions, and terminations -it takes longer to move up in this company in comparison to others because they expect you to learn everything on your current level before moving up -anyone serious about moving up has to be willing to relocate frequently

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”.
