Pros

The job is pretty stable even as a part time employee if your looking for a lot of hours they should be able to give it to you. There is aslo some perks for working with Giant Eagle such as 10% off most items in the store and gas.

Cons

We are constantly short staffed, people constantly underestimate the workload and instead of quitting they just stop showing up. Due to Giant Eagle's steps to get terminated take so long it is really hard to be done quickly. As well there is not much room for growth into a corporate job and to grow at the store level you have to be a standout employee.

Pros

Generally a good group of people. Work itself isn't terribly hard. Insurance is nice however, the pay is poverty wages,

Cons

Pay is called "competitive" It's competitive in the sense they pay dollars less than their competitors. You will be working solo mostly. There is zero payoff for doing a good job. Raises exist once a year set by union. These raises do not keep up with inflation. ALL PRODUCTS ARE 15-30% more expensive than other stores. Almost no one can afford to shop here that works here. If they do shop here they are paying between 50 cents to dollars more per item. The store is literally ripping off customers and workers. Work is do'able and can be completed if you bust your butt for a bit. The pay off? None. There's no raise, no bonus, they don't remember it for future raises. Working full time and getting between 370 and 500 a week is not livable. They talk about community helping which they do however its the cheapest way to pretend to care vs paying people who work there in the community more so there would be LESS people in need, No sense of purpose.
