Pros

Adequate, consistent pay, daily if you want it, even. Easy work if you have any people skills. Strong union and good, cheap, benefits once they kick in. (One year for health, two for dental)

Cons

Corporate is horrible and constantly cuts hour budgets, management is forced to schedule about half as many people as the store actually needs, they won't pay a few hundred a day to staff loss prevention but they'll let thousands of dollars of product get stolen that could've easily been stopped. Good managers often get promoted and moved to other stores very quickly and replaced with incompetent people. New hires are thrown in on the deep end with little to no training, the store offers online training called 'Fresh Start' that's actually just useless busywork not even related to the employee's department, i.e a clothing stocker being tested on deli slicer safety in their daily 'training'. People constantly call in sick and management doesn't want to offer people overtime to cover the opened hours.

Pros

If you have good relationship with your manager and you can trust them to have your back, it is an amazing place to work, and you will find success easy.

Cons

If you have lost the confidence of your manager, or have bad communication with your manager, it makes it very hard to be seen and be successful.
