Pros

This is a fantastic retail environment to start out in if you are new to the work force. If you have had previous employment, this occupation can still be satisfying and a good experience- especially if you have a good team. If you can get to an assistant manager position, there is a LOT of opportunity to learn management and leadership duties.

Cons

Pay is rather low. Even assistant managers do not have decent pay. Unless you are a department manager I would not get good enough pay to live off of. I treat this job as a chance for experience that I will be able to apply in more lucrative jobs later on. Some departments are small, so getting to the top can really only happen if the manager quits or retires.

Pros

Will work with your availability.

Cons

Does not pay any more than $8 an hour (will be $7.38 an hour after social security & Medicare taxes and they don’t do raises). Rude customers. Two (sometimes three) carts full of groceries on food stamp days. Almost no maintenance done to the store (still have outdated registers running the point of sale version of Windows 7). Toilet paper dispensers in the bathrooms are broken and haven’t been replaced in over two months. Training is almost nonexistent. The cashiers actually got more training than I did. Does not do any employee, veterans, or senior citizen discounts. Food is too expensive so I’m not able to afford to shop there. I have to shop elsewhere (Food Lion & Dollar General) just to be able to afford to eat.
