Pros

Great grocery chain and am a loyal shopper. Computerized training program is nice to go at own pace. Friendly coworkers. Great place for high school or college students for extra cash or supplemental income.

Cons

Shift responsibilities are often unrealistic when paired with helping customers. Those closing certain areas/departments are still required to help customers all the up until the moment of clock-out-even if everything has been completely shut down and cleaned for the night, and consequences are dealt out for working beyond your scheduled shift time. I often had to skip my break in order to get everything done in time and then I still had to skip a few steps sometimes. Lack of organization for shift and break coverage. Often had to still help customers even though it was my scheduled break and I was clocked out.

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.
