Pros

The Deli is/was a great place for upward mobility if you are willing to work hard and smart. 5-10 years will give you practical management skills and knowledge while you earn a decent living.

Cons

The benefits and new hire pay scale had suffered from bankruptcy/restructuring during the recession before I left. Not sure if they have improved. The store I worked in no longer has any woman managers either. When I worked there 3 managers and 2 key full time positions were staffed by woman. All but one worked hard and did good jobs. My guess is, as they had been with the company for years their pay rate did not suit the post bankruptcy world.

Pros

Managers, Coworkers family like, company vehicle, permanent fulltime position with good benefits and decent pay; not a contract or 3rd party like a lot of IT jobs tend to be. You don't necessarily need a lot of IT qualifications to do this job just be familiar with pos equipment and able to follow knowledge base instructions and able to troubleshoot.

Cons

A lot of driving and working in grocery stores equipment can get dirty so gloves and or washing hands will be needed.

Pros

In most ways is accommodating with schedules. If you are in good graces, it can be an okay little source of income.

Cons

In my case, not allowed to get tips, you get paid less, blamed the most for things there were usually someone before deflecting their poor work ethic, and getting out over two hours late much of the time. They would schedule 5, sometimes 6 days a week of only 5:30-9:00PM to avoid letting me take the paid 15 minute breaks from 4 hours of work. During (2025) $14.7 minimum wage, the rest of the deli got on average (I asked 9 people) 16.10 for part time, than full times, non salary got $16.75, and $17.00. I only got only $15.40. In 2026 with $15.15 pay, I get $15.70, but everyone else gets about $16.40 now. They would give me a raise due to write ups, that relating to getting out too late, expect due to other shifts knowingly leaving work behind for me to do. A former manger would intermittently would shave 5-10 minutes off the clock out times, although only maybe a dozen times in a year.
