Pros

Relative flexibility on schedule (hours and switching with others), good coworkers, generally pretty good management in the department itself. Decent work ethic contributed positively to schedule flexibility.

Cons

Horrible upper management for the most part. Constant interference at busy times, contradictory information, often unhelpful when there was a mechanical issue in the deli. Obsession with appearances and pushing unwanted sales whenever management was hanging around. Not a whole lot of opportunity for advancement, several coworkers were promised induction into management training on multiple occasions and management did not follow through or brought in someone else. Very little increase in pay over the 3+ years I was there for myself and others, even though department managers frequently acknowledged and congratulated our efforts.

Pros

You get paid every week.

Cons

• They talk to you like you're stupid. • Their tone becomes more aggressive when you don't brown nose them. • They don't lead by example nor implement any teamwork. • They make daily operations more difficult to complete as a flex. • They disguise their racism towards employees as company policy institution. • They become spiteful when you don't fall in line and take out their frustration on your workers while store management look the other way. • They talk negatively about you in group chats and emails. • They pretend to be inefficient when they don't want to help. • They harass & imprison your workers as soon as you clock out (by eyewitness accounts). • Management will sabotage your evaluation, hire special needs people for critical thinking jobs, & accept underperforming associates from other stores just to save money. • Higher-ups will deny qualified applicants employment while conspiring to hire the children of old classmates who purposefully show up to work late. • Store management will physically assault minors who steal on the premises and act openly racists to shoppers of color.
