      Pros

      Great Money, Great people, Opportunities to advance and move all the time. When you finally do learn this job your ability to make huge money becomes easy. Four day work week :)

      Cons

      Work load, early/long hours 4am-2pm sometimes longer... The job is in a 0 degree environment. Takes a lot of physical work your body better be in shape or this job will be way harder. That said I work with more then a few out of shape guys I don't know how they do it.

      Good Job. But Starting Pay Sucks

      Pros

      Stable Company, Wont Get Laid Off, Good Benefits, Everyone is friendly. The Managers at the store I work out genuinely care about me and want me to succeed. If you show them your a hard worker they will just let you do your thing without nagging you. Will only call you if they need you to help them build a display. The free stock they give is nice. Worked there 2 years and already got $1600 worth of stock without paying a penny for it. Top pay is decent for a non degree job. about $15 for Grocery Specialist. If your a hard worker and learn how to suck up to managers Part-Time doesn't mean bad hours. I been getting 36+ for 2 years, and occasionally get over-time but mostly the manager will just send you home early on your last day unless they forget to mention it (score!)

      Cons

      They start you out at minimum wage and only give 30cent raises IF your doing a good job. I have a friend who got a deduction. They keep you at part-time way to long even if your giving it 110% and showing your worth it. Take your evaluation with a grain of salt. They purposely shy you back from "role model" just so they dont have to pay you the extra bit. My past 4 evaluations have always been 1 point short of role model. They deduct this by knocking me down on stupid stuff like dress code. Seriously? Its a uniform I wear the same uniform everyday lol. Your required to work crazy shifts, and if you close up on your availability that means you wont get good hours. I had shifts where I don't leave till 1:30AM closing the store leveling and filling specials just to open in the morning in the dairy department at 6:AM. It's all based off oasis which doesn't care about such petty human activities such as sleep. Those pesky computers!
