Good people, not enough appreciation.

Retail grocery seafood clerk

Pros

You're treated very well, good benefits after a couple of years. Unionized, except if you're a store manager.

Cons

The work required out weighs the wage, in misy cases.

Good to work for if your store has decent management

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

Flexible hours for part time workers. Full time opportunities for those who stay with the company long enough. Fair wages for full time employees. Opportunities to advance within the company. It can be an enjoyable job if you have (or are) management with a positive outlook. Weekly pay is nice. Decent benefits for full timers (and part timers who meet the enrolment requirements).

Cons

Poor wages for part time employees (the raises are so low for part timers that after a few years of working there, the new guys are making as much as you when minimum wage goes up). No discounts (unless you are a student, or if your union has negotiated it for your store). The shirts stain easily if you are in a department that does manual labour; the stains do not come out (but the shirts are free).

Wouldn't recommend it - deli worker

Deli clerk

Business Outlook

Pros

- a lot of busy work that makes the time go by quickly - an apparent satisfying benefits package that I never got because I'm part time - vacation time for full timers - a lot of hours - the food from the hot case is pretty good to buy for your breaks - they pay you for the first 15 minutes break you get - potential for up to $25/hr CAD

Cons

- my supervisor abused us verbally but there was nothing we could do because the chain of command - customers are snobby and rich - management would rather make a rude customer happy than an employee - it's kind of depressing being trapped in a grocery store all day - upper management would come in every now and then and criticize how I do my job for no reason - no discount whatsoever
