Pros

Hours were generously dolled out, and very flexible. I made what felt like a lot of money for a highschooler, and the work was relatively simple. Good place to get experience in dealing with customers. The management up to and including Store Director were all competent and nice.

Cons

Large amounts of homeless customers/loiterers. While I have no problem with most customers like this, there would be occasional knife fights or "disruptive incidents" in and around the parking lot, or bottle return machines. There was hardly any sense of direction from management past the front line. Also, there was a strange system that tracked and ranked checkers on whether they entered produce manually or by looking it up. Generally an unpleasant job to do.
