Pros

You are supporting a local company that (presumably) gives back to your community. You will have the opportunity to meet a diverse group of people of all ages and ethnicity. You should be able to find a schedule that works around your Real Life responsibilities. One of the very few non union grocers, this could also be a downside depending on who you asked. If you have any previous retail experience you should be able to get a job starting 10 - 12 dollars an hour for "non-carryout/bagger" positions. Good Benefits packages. Time and a half on holidays including paid holidays.

Cons

The current pay structure is a little out of whack. Employees who started before 2005 are on a different payscale than current new hires. Only one cost of living raise in the last few years (25 cents). In store prices higher than other grocery stores. Weak member discount (5% off grocery excluding liquor tobacco). Hours for some have been hard to come by due to "economic conditions" (sept. 08).

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.
