Pros

Overall I enjoyed my time and experience here. Work life balance and culture was pretty good. The people were great to work with. Although the grocery retail market maybe challenging, Metro has done a good job to keep up with the competition.

Cons

Advancement can be limited, but it's mostly due to the fact that they run a lean operation.

Pros

Flexible schedule. Some of the managers do a good job. Some of the customers are very nice.

Cons

The pay was very low for part-time staff. The raises come in insulting 5-10 cent increments and they only come about once a year. They never schedule enough cashiers and scheduled cashiers are forced to rush and deal with angry customers. They frequently cut hours. Customers are routinely angry because of long lines, inefficient processes, etc which cashiers are forced to deal with. POS systems are old and inflexible. No employee discount of any kind. Absolutely zero pride in work. Lack of common sense from management.
