Pros

Life/work balance is pretty solid As manager you always get your 40 hours a week, OT if you’re lucky. Most of the workers are friendly. Always something to do

Cons

Unfortunately we still face a huge amount of catching up to do in terms of technology and other components of a modern grocery store needs in this day and age. Lack the training hours to truly develop a strong workforce. Needs to be more follow ups on store managers and department heads. If half of your management team lacks ambition and drive to promote productivity and team work the work load on the other half suffers tremendously due to them having to pick up the slack. Unfortunately some stores fall victim to the situation and we lose talent to competitors.

Pros

They (management) can be reasonable at times, such as with your breaks and scheduling.

Cons

My current management isn't giving me enough hours to be even decently sustainable, yet they have open-shifts available that they could assign to anyone, so why not give those hours to people who are severely underscheduled? If you want your workers to work for you, treat them right and compensate them fairly, and stop expecting them to come in everytime you text them just because someone else called out, maybe you need to give the people who constantly call out less hours because they aren't being reliable, and you need to give more hours to the people who do come to work and get things done, because they've proven to be reliable and willing to come in on their assigned days.
