Pros

the employees are awesome, kind, and caring the employee benefits are helpful close to where i live pays the bills pay scale is very nice

Cons

#1. Way too busy for the amount of staff we have. #2. You get rude customers that expect you to be all knowing in the checkstand #3. You never EVER have a stable work schedule. you work a 3-11:45 day and then the next day you are there at 8 in the morning. #4. Very hard on the body and mind. #5. If you are 5'7" or taller you could potentially have back problems because the bags at the checkstand are so low you are consistently bending over with just about every order. #6. No baggers!!! #7. They will sometimes have you to cashier despite originally coming in that day to parcel. They also have a tendency to forget this, which requires you to call and remind them of your current position. #8. You are also sometimes left with no breaks due to their negligence.

Pros

Job can be fun and interesting Always something new to learn Lots of personal fulfillment as a manager when things go right

Cons

Unsupportive upper management Toxic work culture, unpaid overtime is rewarded and even expected or forced, even to the tune of multiple weeks in a row with no days off when you are salaried. They claim to support work life balance but even the smallest effort to set boundaries is heavily punished. Not paid as much as we should be for everything we have to do and deal with
