Pros

-fairly flexible (if unpredictable) hours -easy work

Cons

-unpredictable Sun-Sat schedule that you don't find out about until Thursday night -managers "starve" employees by giving them fewer hours than they need to keep them "hungry" for hours so they work harder to "earn" better schedules -managers frequently don't respect their employees as people -getting fired by getting transferred or freezed out is common -enough sexual harassment to make me uncomfortable happened weekly -low pay, especially after you have experience and moderate responsibility

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.
