Just Okay.

Pros

Friendly people, flexible hours, relatively easy job. They will work with your schedule, especially if you are in high school. Make a dollar more per hour on Sundays.

Cons

The pay was terrible, I worked there for over two years and was barely making above minimum wage. Higher management does not appreciate the lower employees. Good employees get the same recognition as bad employees and if you want to move up you have to ask multiple times. Unpredictable hours. 12 hours one week and 30 hours the next. Didn't get the schedule until sometimes the day before which was very inconvenient

Pros

For starters, I was hired immediately. The job is ok if you are a college student looking to put some money in your pocket. The staff is pretty friendly for the most part and the environment is stable.

Cons

The starting pay has been the same for a few years now from what other employees tell me. I started at $9.00 and come to find out that there is really no going up from there. Some employees have been there for at least three years and are still making the same. There are no opportunities for full-time hours unless you are in a management position. There are no benefits. The employees do not feel a sense of pride and it radiates to the others. There is almost no true feeling of "wanting" to work there, rather there is more of "this was all I could find". No one looks forward to coming to work. This is definitely not the place to try and be the bread winner for your house hold and don't expect any major raises in the coming decades.

Great First Job

Pros

- Pay starts off higher than minimum wage. - FT Benefits are pretty competitive, PT Benefits have a lot of room for improvement - Requests for time off need to be in three weeks in advance which doesn't always help with last minute appts and things, but it is nice having a schedule two weeks in advance so you can make plans around when you work. There is usually a good, reliable employee or two that can help cover/switch shifts with you when those unexpected things pop up.

Cons

- Used to be a great place to work, but changes in upper management over the past several years have taken it on an out-of-control roller coaster ride and nobody seems to be able to pull the breaks. - For a company that preaches that they value their employees and that there is plenty of opportunities for advancement, it doesn't seem to be able to deliver on that promise. I know of Store Managers being brought in off the streets when there are more than enough capable Assistant Managers who could have taken on the same role and would have done the job x 1,000 times better. These same store managers are being brought in off the streets with better pay and benefits (mostly vacation time) than store managers who have been with the company 15+ years. - The company is extremely top heavy in management. There seems to be a Vice President for everything under the sun. Not surprisingly, most of them seem to have forgotten what it was like to be in the average workers' shoes. - This supermarket is far lacking in technological advancements. Changes have been made for the better, but we are still light-years behind.
