Pros

You get paid weekly. Unless you are full time there are no insurance benefits.

Cons

Promote and give manager positions to people who are too young and inexperienced. I have never seen or heard the ongoing use of profanity in the department I worked in like I did at Ingles. You get what you pay for.

Pros

There's always something to do and the pay is pretty good. They have weekly pay and alternating schedules every week that help with your personal life flexibility.

Cons

It's takes a little while to ever get a raise or move up to a higher position. I don't like how some employees acted towards management.
