Pros

-They'll hire pretty much anyone so it's a great place to get some experience, just shower regularly and you're hired -The part time pay is pretty generous considering the lack of experience required -Because of the aforementioned lack of workplace experience in general, most every one of my coworkers were really casual and friendly, not sure if this would apply to all locations

Cons

-Stated previously, they'll hire anyone, so we have somewhat sketchy and/or incompetent people here I wouldn't trust. They're thankfully few, but the people who were allowed to stay only remain because they're good at customer service. -Convenient as it is to shop after your shift, the prices are really high for your average grocery store -My location in particular cares so much about their online reputation that people get reprimands for Facebook comments within the week -Vice versa, they hold people who get customer compliments online on a pedestal and put the compliment on the employee corkboard so everyone else can feel inferior (in a headache-inducing font, btw) -While they offer a myriad of benefits, general employee welfare doesn't seem to be a concern to them, and I've seen coworkers of mine come in to work sick because they couldn't find someone to cover their shift. I myself have gotten in an accident on my way to work once, and they had to send over a coworker to bring me in to work because my car was no longer working.

Pros

If your part time and show good work ethic you can get the hours.

Cons

They expect you to get the work done in a certain amount of time but are always taking your help from the dept to go up front. Extremely stressful and supervision won't even speak to you yet we are expected to speak to every customer. Been doing this for 40 yrs management and supervision need training on how to speak and be civil to their employees and not think of them as an expense.

Pros

If you like retail, this is it. You'll meet great coworkers and customers. No one is salaried, so you get paid for every minute you work. You can meet someone on the job and it's not against company policy.

Cons

Some managers are bullies. Incorrect people in management roles. Toooo many inexperienced people attempting to perform jobs they have no experience at and the store shows a direct decline in comparison the way it was. Customers are complaining and employees are so unhappy.
