Pros

-Co-workers are like a little family and become true friends, looking out for one another. -Good benefits for both part time and full time employees.

Cons

-No praise for doing a good job or working harder than expected. -No recognition from middle or upper management when you go above and beyond your expected duties. -Management tend to pick people out and target them, waiting for them to slip up even once so they can swoop in and fire them. -Department managers can be vindictive with hours, the more they like you the more hours they give you. If you ask for too many days off they give you ridiculous hours, i guess as a sort of 'revenge'. -Departments get very few hours compared with how many employees they have, they need to cut back on some of the less productive employees so those who works hardest get more than 4 hours a week.

Pros

I really enjoy the people I work with. We have become a small family in our department. I also enjoy that my particular position gives me some challenge so I don't become bored and fizzle out.

Cons

I don't like how corporate keeps adding on to the list of things that I need to have done at a specific time. I only have two hands, and my department isn't given enough hours to allow for me to have help. If I am going to have to complete x, x, and x, I would like some instruction as to how to do that, as well as more pay. I also really hate the new program that steals workers from other departments to cashier or bag. Customers exist in our departments, too!
