Pros

- The assigned tasks changes every hour or two, which eliminates fatigue and boredom during a shift. It keeps things fresh! - Extremely friendly and charming environment, very different from most grocery stores - 20% employee discount - Get paid time and a half on Sundays since it was such a busy day to work - Friendly staff and managers, I never felt scared to let my manager know about a problem

Cons

- It is a grocery store with a lot of perishable food items, it can get cold in there, especially if you're doing the frozen section - Taking out the boxes and piling them on top of one another for transport will get heavy! Do not be scared to ask for her if you are hesitant, save your back!

Pros

-Great way to meet people, socialize, and learn customer service -Always tasked with different things every hour -Friendly crew who will always help you to learn and get better at your job -Get a slight pay raise every 6 months -No outside commitments and amazing benefits if you work full time (about 28 hours a week for every 6 months) -Will take time, but find your friend group, stay with them and have fun, you can't please everybody -Care for your body, do not overdo it with physical labor, its a retail job and you only have one fragile body for yourself, get help or insist about your pains

Cons

-Not many, unless you are stuck in a bad store with bad management -I had some good luck of working in 3 great stores, so YMMV -Sometimes can get cliquey like you are back in high school -Getting promoted up to store management may involve buttering up and being a "yes-person" -Care for your body, do not overdo it with physical labor, its a retail job and you only have one fragile body for yourself, get help or insist about your pains
