Pros

Decent enough people to work with. When you're on nights, you don't get micromanaged, which has its own downsides if you've never done it before. You get a pretty restrictive (at least for groceries; non-grocery items are better) 10% employee discount.

Cons

They cut my hours immediately, then did an about face and started scheduling me 40+ hours despite being part time. Getting requests to come in all the time. Adjusting to night shift. Training was minimal. The work isn't very difficult, but it can be overwhelming when you're constantly being moved around and can't build a mental map of the locations you're working. Additionally, you're given a lot of contradictory instructions/requests. I.e., don't flex product, you should flex product and stop sending back so much back stock, make sure you condition the aisle in X, Y, Z way, but stop spending so much time doing it etc. Finally, so many old timers and managers are constantly stressed out, and this naturally bleeds into how they treat others.

Pros

Direct coworkers were great to work with. I also enjoyed being left to do my work and not babysat by management.

Cons

Management doesn't know what they are doing. Resets and floor plans were regularly not done properly. The store I worked at has a skeleton crew so I never got help (but was expected to stop everything I'm going to go help other departments/areas). Also meaning good luck to any customers needing help, especially when I was the only person working my area of the store, so when I wasn't there, no one was. Management also regularly disappeared into the offices or were on vacation. Also was terminated for reasons outside my control even though I was told they look at the reasons for attendance incidents before termination. Never got to get the FMLA or accommodation to my doctors before being terminated two days after I requested them. Didn't bother asking for a raise either. I did multiple times and got nothing.
