Hours suck

Apparel clerk

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

It is great when it is near Christmas and they give you about 25-30 hours.

Cons

It sucks after the new year that they cut your hours to about 18 a week, just a few hours shy of being able to maintain the benefits. You have to pay union dues even though if you don't get enough hours, it really doesn't seem to do you any good.

Was good outside of the daily drama that persisted in my department

Business Outlook

Pros

Part-Time job that offers dental/medical Union requires a minimum amount of hours so you will always be at 20 and no less as a P/T. Interacting with a wide variety of customers

Cons

If you're looking for a steady schedule then this is a place you will not find that. It's retail so your schedule will be all over the place. You will work mornings and you will close nights. Wherever their computer places you is where you will go. The Pay for the department is the lowest and tops out at the lowest. I believe the Deli area is more so the most difficult places to work in the store if not the most difficult and the pay wasn't sufficient for the work that you were required too do.

Pros

local managers and corporate managers are really enjoyable to converse with and make associate's feel like they are worth something. They are great at making everyone feel welcome and ensuring that every associate is a team member.

Cons

If your managers aren't being effective the entire store is thrown off and it makes for a rough day at work.
