Pros

The 10% discount card ?

Cons

Supervisors get defensive whenever you ask questions about why they want you to do something. If something doesn't make sense to you, you have the right to ask! Also, quite a number of times my immediate supervisors would forget I needed a lunch break (or even any break). Or that I have to go home. The store I worked for also didn't take the time to properly train their cashiers. Quite a bit of information I learned about the job wasn't in the "training program" on the computers.

Pros

Fifteen minute breaks, half hour to hour lunches, they occasionally let us go home for lunch, and their discipline system seems mostly fair.

Cons

Terrible policy regarding mental illnesses, and other illness. Co-workers frequently try to get each other fired. Terrible rate of pay, and the managers at the store don't listen. A transfer to another department practically requires a coaching. The electronic cart retriever is occasionally broken.

Pros

Full-time position with benefits (you have to pay - never used them so I don't know if they are good or not). Pay is above the minimum wage and gives you extra bonus for overnight and working on Sundays. Most of the associates are nice and helpful. They have many locations, so you can have a short commute or car pool

Cons

Management has too many favorites. Communication is very bad from one shift to the next. Even on the same shift very bad and I think it's due to the store being so large and no walkies. Some of the employees are slackers and don't care about getting the job done. When this happens you have to pickup the slack and that can make your job harder.
