Pros

Average pay, unionized, opportunities for career advancement.

Cons

Management fosters a toxic culture, and does not do what is necessary to make sure employees can do their jobs safely and effectively. When I was there there were 5 different types of shopping carts, all of which had to be collected separately. So much time was occupied by unlocking the door to the bathroom for costumers, which their was only one key kept up front. Poor communication between pretty much everybody. Managers would let their personal problems effect the whole store. Store is disgusting and either management is too incompetent to the right supplies to clean it, or senior management won't provide assistance (i suspect the former). Area has a homelessness problem and staff have to clean up trash cans people went through, and call police pretty frequently.
