Pros

You get benefits, some people may like that they have a union (I don't), it's just a little better than fast food (just a little), there are a lot of different departments you may be able to move to over time.

Cons

To get moved up within the company requires sucking up to important people and tearing others down, people are all on power-trips, the people sitting in offices somewhere dictate how we do things but it's obvious they're out-of-touch with the deli, they are super-cheap with employees, there are all these strict rules to follow that make working feel like prison sometimes.

Pros

Always plenty to keep you busy.. Because no one else wants to do it and Union protection keeps them from getting fired.

Cons

Management is clueless, rude, and insulting. No ability to handle things. Probably because they could care less when they're so miserable from having no home life, terrible hours, and they are overworked and underpaid.

Pros

They are very willing to working with employees who need flexible scheduling and extended periods of time off. There is quick advancement and few barriers for those who show the effort to be the best. They also offer a pension after just five years of employment. The management is fair and competent.

Cons

Not enough monetary compensation for the time, work, or effort. Union influence means that pay is tied very closely to length of employment, meaning there is little financial incentive to become better at one's job.
