Pros

- The assigned tasks changes every hour or two, which eliminates fatigue and boredom during a shift. It keeps things fresh! - Extremely friendly and charming environment, very different from most grocery stores - 20% employee discount - Get paid time and a half on Sundays since it was such a busy day to work - Friendly staff and managers, I never felt scared to let my manager know about a problem

Cons

- It is a grocery store with a lot of perishable food items, it can get cold in there, especially if you're doing the frozen section - Taking out the boxes and piling them on top of one another for transport will get heavy! Do not be scared to ask for her if you are hesitant, save your back!
