Many of the jobs require you be on your feet all day.

Pros

pay (for meat deaprtment, managers, and people who have been there FOREVER) benifits (for full time). the other associates are cool and easy to get along with. managers (at my store anyway) arn't too bad and are pretty cool and fair.

Cons

the pay sucks for everyone else not listed above. raises are crap (25 cents per 6 monthes with a great evaluation) thats 2 years with almost perfect evaluations to go up $1 in pay. evaluations can only go down. way to over worked and underpaied, taking carts full of groceries out to people's cars for them (and 11 out of 10 times not gettign tipped for it), walking all over the lot collecting carts in the florida heat, cleaning the nasty bathrooms, and whatever else that requires you to be on your feet for 10+ hours a shift. no extra dollar on sunday unless you have been there from 09 or before. this past month (and still continuing) i have been getting a 12-15 hour shift per week. longer then a manager with WAY LESS pay then one. NO discounts. always get asked to stay and/or get called in and if you say no your hours get cut.alot of the customers are ignorant and rude and show you no respect (not all but most of the customers). sometimes you go 5-6 hours without a break im sure the list goes on but i just got off an 8am-10:15pm shift and am to tired to think of anymore. over all its good if you desperatly need a job

Pros

* Perfect student job because they are very flexible with work schedules * Pay is good for what it is * if you stay long enough (over a year) you will get the quartely bonuses given to all associates(higher selling stores have higher bonuses) * Stock options given to all associates who stay long enough (again over one year)

Cons

*ALOT of work.... its not rocket science but there are no breaks while youre on the clock * Odd hours (i closed the store every day i worked 3pm - 12am.... rarely got to leave before 12) * ^ This as because the stock clerk have to fix or level all the aisles before getting to leave at night * I thought of it as being the managers hands in a sense because they cant be everywhere all the time to deal with the store so they hire us to do the tedious things (I.E. filling shelves, unloading trucks, making bales and leveling) * Needs to increase pay raise rate for higher performers instead of giving $0.5 - $0.25 give $1.00 or more to the people who are there a long time and perform well
