Pros

It's a union job. You won't get fired unless you do something really stupid, like stealing from them.

Cons

This is by far the worst place I have been a cashier for. First of all, there is no opportunity for full time unless you are a manager. Secondly, unless you work overnights, you will not get a chance to take a breather or use the restroom during your shift. It's a very busy store to work in with customers constantly coming through your lane. Expect back and knee pain if you are old or out of shape. Every employee there is constantly exhausted, and the break room is often completely silent despite being full of people. The regular customers there are also just plain rude compared to other stores I've worked in--they will try to haggle over prices with a huge line behind them and then make you put the item back if they don't get their way. This isn't one person, this is upwards of ten regular customers who do this every time they come in. If you are qualified to cashier here, then you are qualified to cashier in a far better environment, such as Lunds & Bryerly's. Do not work here unless you have no other option.

Pros

Decent place to start out at, not sure about other cubs but mine gives raises based on how many hours you work. So if you're willing to stick around and deal with the B.S. you can get paid decently. Part timers earn health and dental insurance after their probationary period (assuming you get a consistent 30 hours a week)

Cons

Good Lord what a mess this place is. Miscommunication is absolutely rampant around here. Depending on who you work with, some coworkers can be pleasant while some can be downright horrible. Being a part of the union means that people who don't deserve their job will continue to keep it and that goes doubly for management. Because this place is trying to squeeze every last red cent out of everything they do, they cut hours down to almost nothing and expect their employees to make up the difference and it really shows in the turnover rate and friendliness of their employees. We used to have weekly checks but that was done away with when they started trying to save money. Happiness is in real short supply around here amongst employees. Not to mention there is next to no room for advancement or being moved to full time around here, so unless you want to spend years of your life here, don't come into this place expecting a career or even a great job. It's a job, nothing more and depending on which location you work at, you'll also be treated to the feeling of being crapped on everytime you come to work. There is no reason to excel in this place because it just gets you crapped on even more. Often times it seems like all management cares about is putting money in their own pockets because I can count on one hand the amount of times I've been told "good job" around here.
