Pros

Clique running the show and God help you if you are on the wrong end of the stick. Good Management introduction training. Compensation is fair but working hours negates the fairness.

Cons

Fair. You may find very progressive new generation managers but otherwise most stores are run by old school folks who are unforgiving and very rigid to new ideas. Red leaders.

Better treatment elsewhere

Pros

Perhaps it says more about specific people I worked with versus the company, but those in charge of the schedule made sure that I did not receive odd work hours. For example, I was not given closing shifts and opening shifts consecutively.

Cons

I don't feel that there was a lot of respect for people who filled certain roles. Baggers and those who performed custodial duties were not always treated well.

Steady Union Job

Pros

Union membership, good medical/dental benefits, everything pretty much above board with respect to management's expectations and standards. My supervisors made their expectations clear to me and provided useful feedback that helped me improve my work. I did not feel attacked or belittled by their coaching.

Cons

Wages fairly low and schedule inconsistent. The store schedule is written by a computer program and managers have very little freedom to modify the computer-generated schedule to better match the needs of the store and the employees. In my department, I rarely worked less than 40 hours per week, but I have known other employees, especially cashiers, who frequently could not get enough hours to pay their bills. Some of them had to make up the difference by jumping at any opportunity to come in on their scheduled days off or stay late when asked. This meant changing their personal schedules at the last possible minute and prevented them from making many commitments outside of work.
