Pros

The pay was okay for a part time job where you didn't really have to do a lot. You'd also sometimes get a mystery shopper or a customer compliment which would get you a small bonus.

Cons

The full time employees (aka the people who had a guaranteed 48 hours/week because they had worked there for 40 years) could change their schedules on a moment's notice and us part-timers were forced to pick up any slack. You could expect to work every holiday because the full-timers wanted off - which also meant you'd be working until 10pm on NYE and then start at 6am on New Years. Management also clearly had favorites among the PT workers. Some people would always be allowed to leave early or get the few good shifts, while others would be stuck working 4 hour closing shifts all week.

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.
