Pros

Job security, location (they're everywhere), I can't think of anything else....actually, depending on your position, it can be pretty easy to slack off and do nothing without it being very noticeable. I've spent the majority of my 8 years there walking around talking to people or playing computer games.

Cons

Wages aren't that great and it's based solely on how long you've been there so there is no motivation to do a good job. Customers can be absolutely horrible. You're expected to be available all day, every day including holidays. It can be pretty hard to achieve full-time status. If you're part-time it takes two years before you're eligible for health insurance. Everyone is not treated equally. Management plays favorites.

Pros

If you like a non-standard work week (Mon - Fri) and non-standard work schedule (8am - 5pm), then retail grocery is for you. As a co-manager, scheduled 6-day work weeks and 10-hour rotations were the norm.

Cons

Most management has risen through the grocery ranks from bagger or checker with little outside work experience. Skewed sense of home life / work life balance. Punch the clock mentality even among management.

Pros

If you are not union, then there are none.

Cons

No breaks, hours frequently cut even though pharmacy is the most profitable department in the store, no benefits, poor pay despite my experience and ability.
