Pros

Weekly pay. Nice co-workers. Mostly nice customers.

Cons

Hardly got to shop any orders due to (1) there hardly being any and/or (2) a certain manager shopping ALL the orders instead of delegating some, as she should have. Dead times as casheirs was a major downside for me, personally. Despised them. Managers being stupid (some and sometimes)/micromanaging. CSM is not the best at her job (though she is mostly nice) and screws up schedules and other things. They can take away your hours out of nowhere. Newer people WILL get brought on with higher pay than you. Hate the company. Used to treat their workers a lot better, I hear. Give more benefits and bonus's and things. Now you get jack all.

Pros

The atmosphere there is just like working with family. I enjoy the job for the most part.

Cons

Pay for the job expected of you. Lowest starting pay around and I was hired with years of experience. Hard to find someone willing to talk about a raise and they are constantly.ovibg the goal post on what the job includes. The deli is the hardest working part of the store and we no doubt get the lowest pay.
