Pros

Good for a part-time/temporary gig. Culture was good at my store. Good co-workers. If you don't mind not being able to plan your life around you work (schedules are computer generated every week, and you schedule can vary widely week to week). Other pros: benefits even as a part time employee

Cons

This used to be a good career (union had more backbone 15 years ago). Under the new contract, you are never guaranteed full time or a set schedule, holidays are not paid double time anymore, and Sunday premium went away (or reduced to $1 extra). Your schedule changes every week, even with 20 years experience. Culture depends on your exact store. Some stores are toxic. Visit the store as a customer before you accept the job. See if the employees look like they are always pissed off. If they do, that's a bad sign.

Management sucks

Pros

Good benefits, A flexible schedule.

Cons

The Management there is something else. Drama queens, gossiping and lack of director skills. They punish you out of anger instead of what you do. They don't get a good inspection and it's on the person they least like that day
