It's a minimum wage job. What do you expect?

Pros

Pros are that I have been able to tell the manager when I can work and when I can't. But this is not standard across the company, I have a good manager at my store and I have connections with family working there.

Cons

Customers are rude. You are not given any benefits from the store like a reduced lunch. You can't drink water at your register. You have to ask to go to the bathroom. You can't text unless a cool manager is on duty. Pretty strict dress code relative to other grocery stores. Basically you're treated like scum of the earth because this is a minimum wage job. Customers are valued like kings by the uppity uppities and are more important than the workers who are bringing in money to the store. Also the company is very cheap, as in you get yelled at if you don't conserve bags or put a lot of items in the (very thin, breakable, overrecycled) bags.

Pros

people are great and you gain a lot of experience with help if you need it.

Cons

management could be better if they treated their employees like their an essential part of the "team". and the only scanning gun we have is at u-scan so if you have a bad back good luck lifting water bottle cases.
