Pros

I love my co-workers and it's a convenient location as it is about 5-10 minutes away from where I live. It's also a paycheck, as small as it sometimes is.

Cons

Having to give two weeks notice if you can't work a certain day, they cut hours after holidays, and you need to pay $9 per week for union dues, regardless of whether you're FT or PT and baggers aren't allowed to wear hats.

Pros

it is very hard for me to think of any pros because all the management did was lie about me and try to stop me from having any friends for 18 years.

Cons

the front managerment and security just lies about people that work at the store that she is at. The Store manager has not control over the way Giant Security follows people that work at Giant food around and lie about them stealing from any store as son as they walk in to any store. They Management think hat they have control over the people personal life and stopping any approved business call, stopping any mail being delived to the correct person at the store. throwing mail away. Stopping customers from stopping at the store because she/he does not want a co-worker to ever see them or be friends with them or have any communication with them.
