Pros

Relatively easy place to work. Nice coworkers. Good for a short term job.

Cons

Not a good place to build a career anymore. Most full time positions are being changed to include Sundays as a regular work day with no extra pay. Rate of pay for full time promotion has decreased as has the top pay for full time. Full time very hard to achieve. Too political. Required to work most holidays now. No benefits for anyone who works less than 30 hours a week and most part time are given less than 30 hours a week. Still required to pay union dues even though you don't get benefits.

It destroys your sanity

Pros

Really good pay for part-time work. Good benefits, somewhat flexible hours.

Cons

Management is terrible, there's always a struggle between management and workers. Unrealistic expectations. Inconsistent policies. Favoritism is too common. People don't get recognized for hard work, only when they make mistakes. There is no incentive to do your best because promotions are seniority based. Too many people are unwilling to help coworkers. Terrible communication from corporate/upper management and employees.

Pros

The other employees and most of the customers are really nice. I enjoyed the people I worked with very much. There are always new kids coming in as cashiers, and there are a lot of opportunities for promotion if you do a good job and will be working there for a while. I saw people go from cashier to self-checkout supervisor to customer service desk over the course of a few months. Also, I was able to get days off very easily when I asked for them.

Cons

I tended to get more hours than I wanted, and always long shifts on Saturdays and Sundays which was a bummer because I couldn't go to church. And schedules come out on Fridays for the following week; I only knew my hours for Sundays two days in advance. My schedule was never consistent from week to week, making planning things with friends/school/etc ahead of time (unless there were a few weeks in which I could request a particular day/time of day off) impossible. My boss was nice, but a little scary when she was stressed, and always busy doing one thing or another. I was a shy high school student, and couldn't muster up the courage to talk to her if there was something I needed, like less hours. (Most of the time, though, she was very accommodating to me.)
