Pros

I was given an annual pay increase and the opportunity to take on more responsibilities.

Cons

In the hiring interview I was given the impression that there were ample opportunities to move into management for employees who work hard and are reliable, however multiple times I was passed over and not even given a chance to interview for positions I applied for. My hours were cut to the point that I had to seek employment elsewhere.

Pros

Paid breaks. Can be lazy and get the same pay as a hard worker.

Cons

Your high efforts are not rewarded. Benefits only include the time you put into retail that can be considered experience. Although you have the title for a specific position you will still be forced to complete tasks of another position. Although I was a checker, I was also put on hot food line, samples, cart duty, cleaning bathrooms, cleaning spills, watching self check out, stocking, and many more. Any sense of enjoyment with other coworkers gets shut down quick by management. Availability can be ignored by management. Lots of drama with coworkers. No penalty for inappropriate and unprofessional work. Management cares about business more than employees even though it is “employee owned”.
