Pros

Some of the best reasons to work at smart and final is that you are not required to be very capable of doing anything. As long as you can speak clearly and stay on your feet all day, you'll be fine.

Cons

Some of the downsides of working at Smart and Final is the fact that you do the same thing on a daily basis and are criticized for the pace at which you do your job.
