Pros

You learn how to operate heavy industrial equipment. Want to be trained on something to get a raise? The boss would find a way to get you trained. Some of the people were awesome to work with.

Cons

The UFCW is worthless. First hired, first fired (didn't happen to me). Expected to work 40 hours plus mandatory overtime even if part-time (even happened outside of the holiday season), sometimes as little as 16 hrs. Only 1/5 of the hourly workers were full time (no benefits for the rest of us). Work could be extremely dangerous depending on how much needed to be done, you could be fired for as little as 1 week of not making your quota. Sometimes working safely meant risking your job because of the quota. Limited advancement....

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.
