Pros

Flexibility with hours is great for full-time students or people trying to balance two jobs or teens looking for some money while still being able to balance a personal life. Management is very responsive to personal needs and is very respectful to their employees.

Cons

Pay is horrible, for Courtesy Clerks there is no pay raise, period. I worked as a Courtesy Clerk for 1.5 years and never made a cent over minimum wage. The only reason I didn't quit was because of the flexible hours and good work environment. Once offered a promotion to the meat department, I then only achieved a $0.10 per hour raise and put on three times the responsibility. Once a person is able to get a raise it is only $.05 every 1,000 hours.

October-January the workload and store environment is overwhelming due to holidays Slowest time of year in the store is during the summer when its hot and days drag ob forever Lack of communication between dept as well as between store management MOD adds insurmountable tasks onto your already lengthy expected daily task assignments
