Good grocery retail experience
Pros
Good people to work with on the surface. Most co-workers seem friendly, and encouraging. Great retail experience-learn to adapt your lifestyle with sometimes challenging hours. When overtime is allowed, paychecks are decent. Low medical insurance costs with good coverage (includes dental and vision,) once they are in effect and you reach your minimum hour/week requirements.
Cons
Stagnant pay for new union contract sign-ups (not like what it used to be 20 years ago.) Repetitive tasks for multiple hours (sweeps and carts for hours as a courtesy clerk) or same department shifts for over a year, even when you demonstrate proficiency and skill and ability to adapt to other departments and enthusiasm to move to other departments or up within the company. Over sensitive management that jumps to conclusions and doesn't seem to give employees benefit of the doubt. Questionable hiring and retaining of lackluster co-workers.
