Pros

Profit sharing checks, very flexible scheduling, friendly and helpful coworkers, easy job

Cons

10 cent and 50 cent pay increases only a few times a year, might force you to train to be a cashier or carryout, if small department you will take on management duties when they go on break, going home early to help payroll

Pros

A few of the people are nice to work with.

Cons

A store manager who talks down to employees like they're children (and apparently gets promoted for it). A store manager who acts like employees are idiots for calling him to ask questions. Raises are pathetic. Understaffed because the store manager won't allow enough labor hours to do the job, particularly on Sundays when there's a lot of freight.
