Pros

good coworkers, The big wigs of the company are all really nice(except the lady over Deli, Ms. Mixon, she's awful)

Cons

long shifts, they have your work 40 or more hours a week and will never put you on full time, they yell at you, I went home crying many times. Awful place to work.

Pros

Part-time - management was very good about scheduling around other jobs & responsibilities . Hourly wage for worker coming in with prior experience was great! $2.00 more an hour than beginning employees. Great boss - with consistent feedback on what you are doing well & "suggestions" on what you might do a bit better. A real team environment - with everyone supporting what needs to get done

Cons

A bit difficult to snag full time hours (with benefits). Really no other complaints.
