Pros

Most coworkers across departments are friendly, interactive, and helpful. Likelihood for discriminatory acts by customer base is relatively low (compared to other, more polarizing stores). The scheduling is very flexible, requests for time off are pretty simply done, and the hours are consistent (if not a bit of a pain to get around). The workload is dependably consistent and not overly complex. Not difficult to qualify for a position.

Cons

Training is non-existent. Scheduling is released on paper, not electronically. The hours are pretty low for a part-time position, and they are very strict about the number of hours you actually register working, i.e. if you average workhours higher than the 30hr threshold, you will either be forced to work less hours to even out the average or forced into a benefits package. Turnover is exceptionally frequent, staffing is a constant issue even in decently-staffed departments, and occasionally coworkers are let go for arbitrary reasons. Working holidays and weekends is sought after and expected. No benefits offered to part-time workers. Wage is low, and wage raises are minuscule and far between. HR is managed by only one person, and that person does not involve most HR decisions with department managers. Upper management is distant, impersonal, and unforgiving.

Pros

Relaxed atmosphere, management wears nice masks

Cons

They are very very resistant to any type of change to the point that it is pointless to suggest something be done more efficiently. Department manager is too inexperienced and needs more training on managing conflict. Upper management not only never spoke to me to introduce themselves, they continually ignored me when they would come to the department. The most seniority in the bakery department, aside from the token longtimer, is maybe 8-9 months.
