Pros

The job is easy at times and there are times it will be slow. If you are train in other departments, you can help them out. The best part is no interview, And you have to pass a background check.

Cons

The managers have their favorites associates. They trained them and only them to successfully to learn all the departments. We can no longer take old or expired bread, cookies, hot bar food. We know they have cameras. We thought since it was going in the garbage it was okay to take home, Wrong!!!! they called it theft. You don't have to worry I will not touch any of your food that goes to waste again. Be careful I got the wrong info from an associate about expire foods. never again I will trust another associate.
