Pros

Flexible within reason (must work weekends and you cannot request an out-time), my store had wonderful Team Members and great Team Leaders.

Cons

You are constantly forced to work a full shift if you aren't scheduled 8.5 hours, even if you have comittments for directly after work. If you refuse to stay the full 8 it's considered a "walk-off". It's fine if you need the hours, but if you have a family it's almost impossible to make plans. They schedule according to seniority, with the early shifts going to those who've been there longest. Not good for someone who has to be up at 5am with kids to have to work until midnight. The pay is disgusting. $7.40 per hour, with 15 cent raises every 750 hours worked. In service you top out at about $11.20 per hour. That takes 9 years to make $11.20 at 40hours per week. There are not enough cashiers, EVER. All the cashiers are running at full pace all day because they can't keep up, and when management finally hires someone, they quit in two weeks because their too overworked for a pathetic wage. Do not sell your labor for so cheap. Don't even apply. As soon as I finish college I'm quitting.

Pros

-Plenty of hours due to lack of staffing

Cons

-Lack of staffing leaves more work on employees' shoulders -Minimum wage for chaotic jobs in which customer and employee health and safety are a concern (deli, meats, bakery) -Little to no recognition for hard work and going above and beyond expectations -An empty promise of advancement -A depressing atmosphere filled with the general feeling of being "stuck"
