Pros

the health benefits are comprehensive. when a store is well run it isn't a bad to place but too often having to deal with the clutter that comes from on high only interferes with getting the job done.

Cons

management pay is horrible at the assistant level. Food clerks average more an hour than an assistant. Employees who work in the depts. make far less than journeymen food clerks. There is only so much work one person can complete but more and more work is added including useless paperwork that must be checked and rechecked and meanwhile hours are cut week after week.
