Pros

Loss Prevention at Cub Foods is a pretty sweet gig. You write your own schedule (with a few simple guidelines), supervisors are great and always helpful, there's lots of room for personal growth as an LP agent, and the other agents are friendly and helpful. If you come in to work every day, catch a bad guy now and then, maybe even bust an employee every so often, this job could be your dream job. The freedom is great; your home store is yours to run and you'll only see your boss about once every 1-2 weeks. After six months, you get vacation time, sick time, and personal days. Cub's benefits package is pretty good and includes health, dental and vision insurance, as well as 401k, stock purchase plans, and lots of miscellaneous perks including mileage. If you want to be a cop someday, or think a career is LP is the right path for you, Cub Foods will get you going in the right direction.

Cons

Starting pay is average, and you shouldn't expect much more than 6% in raises per year. Raises are merit based and 6% is on the high end of the raise scale. If you want to get ahead in the company you will need to play politics and make yourself available to do lots of additional tasks at your supervisor/manger's discretion. The company has been known for giving LP agents "just enough rope to hang themselves", but if you stay on task, show up for work, and don't nap on the job, you'll be fine.

Pros

Decent pay, Easy job, Busy on weekends.

Cons

Chronically understaffed. I tried to ask for shifts 6 hours or shorter on weekends because I'm still in school and have chronic joint pain. They said it wouldn't be an issue, but next week I checked the schedule and they scheduled me for two back-to-back 8-hour shifts.

Pros

15-27 hour work weeks for part time. After a few years you can get 39.9 hours a week.

Cons

This is no longer a place to work if you are an over achieving person. You will be “rewarded” with more work for the same pay and passed up for advancement by outside hires. Part time employees have zero chance of becoming full time. All full time employees are being forced out in an attempt to replace them all with two part timers each. All while the part timers do the bare minimum because they know their hours are capped at 27 a week with no chance of being full time, ever. If you got “lucky” and became full time like I did, management will make your life as stressful as possible so you leave. Someone is on vacation overnight tbis week, you have to work overnight to cover now. Work early at 6am? We will have you work until 10pm the day before!
