Pros

-Massively empowered to make the shopping experience awesome for your customers -Deli/Bakery has a variety of different tasks, so the job isn't so repetitive -Pay is decent

Cons

-Management can be extraordinarily rude toward employees -"The Customer is always right" mentality runs rampant, leading to obscenely entitled customers who will complain about anything -Deli/Bakery is definitely a tough position -Very high turnover -Basically no benefits -Disgustingly inconsistent schedule week-by-week -Employees are fairly disrespected by both management and customers One final note- I applied for full-time status 4-5 months ago and was told I had been given it. Since then I've been working 40hr/wk and expecting the benefits (haha, right) of a full-timer. As it turns out, my application was only sent in about two weeks ago. I guess the store manager was using it as a drink coaster or something until then.

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.
