Pros

Discounts on store brands; schedule flexibility; most of the employees are nice; free uniforms; can transfer to different departments within a store or to another store entirely if you choose.

Cons

MANAGEMENT. Other than the department leads, most of the managers at the stores at which I've worked couldn't find their butts with both hands. I definitely do not understand the logic of the "Group Leads" (Fresh, Grocery, etc.) If these postions are in place to provide a buffer between the department leads and the store manager, what the *&#A@ is the store manager and his/her assistant manager doing? I would love to be paid $60k to walk around all day telling people what they're doing wrong, when I have no idea what they're supposed to be doing in the first place...then go sit in the cafe and "do paperwork." Yeah, right. SERIOUS lack of communication. No info. on benefits unless you nag the holy crap out of someone.

Pros

It pays the bills Some days are fun Close to my house. So I save money on gas.

Cons

Long hours Too many rules that are not followed by company leaders. Too greedy. All they want is sales with less labor. Honestly if you really think all the rules that is developed in corporate are being followed. Get out from behind your desk and put an apron on. Don't tell people how it should be done, on a piece of paper, without doing it yourself in a real "day in the life" of a "real" store. If we did everything to company policy, nothing else would get done! More things wrong than there is right. I will be so happy when my days are done there. It's sad because it use to be a nice company to work for.
