Pros

- There was always a lot of extra, almost past shelf life, foods for employees to have in the break rooms - Many of the employees had a good spirit

Cons

- The employee discount wasn't really a discount and more like a points card. You buy things regularly and it built up so much change that you could use whenever you wanted to. It was exactly like the points system the customers have but instead you get cash. But that cash was only linked to your giant card, which isn't so bad but coworkers rarely asked if you were saving or wanted to use your "discount", and they ended up marking you to use your discount and you loose anything you've built up. - Not sympathetic to your position. Cashiers have to stand at their register for their entire shift, they frowned upon leaning or resting or even walking around a bit just to shake off any stiffness from your legs. If you did anything more than waiting still for a customer you were reprimanded. - Customers expect you to do everything. Bagging and ringing up their items is normal, but they also expect you to place every bag into their cart. Not a hard thing to do, but when you have a long line and you're trying to quickly bag and move the line a long customers will rarely lift a finger to move their own grocery. The belt is also in the way and makes it hard to fluidly move a customers grocery into their cart which may or may not be easy to reach. Customers will let their grocery pile up at the end of the belt, and on the floor managers will rarely help you move your line along. - Management is not afraid to belittle you if your job title is underneath them. They will make it known regularly that they are in charge of you and do not care about any of your concerns or problems.
