Pros

Great benefits and logistics that provides a system that seems straightforward

Cons

1. Pay rate doesn't keep up with even Walmart now 2. You're not going to make anything if you're not a manager 3. If you go above and beyond without displaying negative mental disorders they will hire new employees lately that are not mentally capable for the position and force you into lower hours instead of giving the new employee the bagger position. 4. Training for your job role has gone down and standard significantly 5. Requirements of more recent employees of gone down significantly 6. Good employees are constantly stressed out due to a lack of help 7. Extremely narcissistic overall management 8. They will lie and twist paperwork to suit their standards 9. If you're the best employee that customers love then they will not promote you based off of personal reasons if they like you 10. They promote for personal reasons and not your own ability
