Pros

They pay you once a week, which can be helpful in dark times. Occasionally you might find a supervisor who makes the job worth-while and fun, but don't bet on it. It can be a relatively clean environment, however if it happens to be an older store- you may find yourself disgusted by how unkempt the place can really be. You get 10%-30% off of groceries with your discount It isn't that hard to get someone to cover your shift if you need it Picking up hours is really easy if you need the time.

Cons

Not recognized as a good employee, unless you are relatively attractive- if you are two attractive then they'll be after your throat. The customer is ALWAYS right. Regardless of the circumstances The pay raise is a five cent increase every six months If you are a bagger- you'll be stuck with b!tch-work. Always. If you upset one of the hire ups, you might as well quit because they will rain down the pain. As a cashier, after 8:00pm, you are the only cashier on duty- sometimes its really busy There are a lot of rules. Only the weirdest ones are truly enforced No lateral moves- this will take you nowhere unless you work for at least four years

Pros

• Generally work with fantastic people. • Work is not difficult, and time flies when busy. • My bosses collaborated with me to create a schedule that worked, as I often had other commitments. • Overall, a pleasant work experience most days. Get good at what you do and you'll do fine.

Cons

• Some of the senior management was less friendly than others - as to be expected. • Days were very volatile; some could be extremely easy, and others could be a nightmare. • Scheduling was kept rather limited; although I was able to get the hours I wanted, often times management would look to cut hours from departments whenever possible, leaving less support.
