Pros

Fellow co-workers are always helpful. Employee discounts on merchandise and additional discounts for house brands. Extra pay if you work on Sundays Did not lay-off any people because of the economic recession

Cons

Management is slow to give you feedback on job performance Some Managers need to improve their people handling skills Being asked to do more with less people

Pros

The people who work there are the nicest people you will ever meet. That makes the shift a lot more tolerable because there is constantly a sympathetic ear. The pay is weekly. Sunday pay is nice because it is time and a third. The work is pretty easy once you learn everything, but it took me a year to know the basics to get through a day smoothly.

Cons

&& It is union, so a lot of your paycheck will go towards a union that you probably won't even need. && People are vicious at grocery stores these days, always trying to save as much as they can. It is stressful when people are constantly looking at the screen and blame you for everything that comes up wrong. && I developed carpal tunnel from typing on the register and handling heavy items all day. && This job really sucks if you are doing it for more than 20 hours a week. It takes a toll on your body and mind. && Every hour that you are on the clock and in a check-stand, you have to talk to customers. There is no down time as a cashier like there is in Apparel, how they can easily slip into the stock room for a couple hours doing nothing. This job makes you WORK.
