Pros

-Unionized -Generally pleasant customers at my store -Never have to work past 9pm -Don't have to stand in one spot all day -Get to meet and work with a lot of awesome people from all walks of life -Good employee discount -Store management can be a bit overbearing but are overall nice enough -Personally I feel like the expectations of my job are very realistic, easy to set myself apart going the extra mile instead of management expecting perfection -OT pay rate for any time worked past 8 hours for the day, can't cut your hours late in the week to avoid overtime

Cons

-Pay is a bit low, wish they offered higher starting pay based on qualification/experience as I am a bit overqualified for the job but it's ok pay for how easy the job is -Must start out at part-time and work your way up to full-time, I get about 40 hours most weeks but sometimes only 25-30 which is hard but I get it, it's not an uncommon practice -If freshness checks fall behind, rotten produce can get really gross lol -Trash compactor outside stinks so bad I almost vomit every time

Pros

Very little contact with customers. Night premium. Small discount on store brand items.

Cons

Extremely low pay. Insurance isn't available until after your first year. Head store manager has no people skills, a very bad attitude and is blinded by personal ambition. This infects the entire store with a glum, sour tone. In general, clerks and associates have a very bad attitude.
