Too long for too little

Pros

Flexible schedule, with managers that generally wanted to work with you. Great job for students and similar. People are friendly enough.

Cons

Worked full time hours for part time pay and benefits for 7 years. Never once had an official review. I only got raises after getting an offer somewhere else, telling management, and then they would match it. High turn over, management seemed much more concerned with keeping wages low than holding on to good people. This lead to inefficient departments as most of the employees lacked experience and motivation.

Pros

+Discount on in store "hot food" (not groceries) +Flexible hours +Learn customer service +Co-workers were awesome (sometimes) +Easy to transfer to another store +Paychecks could go direct deposit +Cashier training +Learn to bag groceries +Varied work (I have done courtesy, cashier, frozen clerk, GM, delivered groceries to elders)

Cons

-Wage increases were avoided unless directly asked for (company policy said an employee will get a raise and board of review every six months, I had zero reviews and only 1 pay raise despite 2 years at the company with little issues) -Managers do not take our suggestions to better the store because "our opinion doesn't matter" -Getting carts in the rain and snow -Cleaning bathrooms (sometimes I had to go out of my way to find a pair of clean gloves because the box in the cleaning room was rarely full). -Gossip among teenage workers was bad at times (caused people to quit/complain)

Pros

Through here I met quite a few friends, the work isn't too hard, the hours were extremely flexible, and the management spent a large amount of time on the floor instead of in their offices.

Cons

The job only paid minimum wage. In the 2 years that I worked there, I received one $.25 raise right before I turned 18, so i lost it almost immediately. There are almost no advancement opportunities.
