Pros

The flexible schedule that is offered helps a lot if you're a student. They work around your schedule and it also allows time for you to get your school work done.

Cons

Pay. When I started working at Jewel, I was getting 20-30 hours a week. Now I'm only getting my minimum of 12. People who have been there a year longer make time and a half because they were hired under the old union contract, I only make an extra dollar on Sundays and Holidays. They recently changed the dress code and are requiring us to get new pants and shows and they cut the associate discount without warning. How am I supposed to afford all of this?

Pros

Fun Job. Time flies when working. Learn new skills.

Cons

Management does NOT care about you only the work you do. You will be overworked and underpaid. Very little training and they expect you to know everything within a couple weeks. Managers are lazy and will put their work on you! Work place is full of drama and creepy people that HR looks the other way because of 'popularity'. This is not the only location with problems the whole company is a mess. Constantly switching out district managers. Ops were horrible, they would come boss everyone around to try to make the shop look perfect in 1 shift, often making a lot of people miss their breaks and work overtime. Frozen loads and products would go to waste due to miscommunication between managers and no one seemed to ever want to fix any problems. Extremely low morale and high turnover. Stay far away from this place unless you're really sure you're only staying a while.
