Pros

-Tuition assistance -At least it's not a stressful job.

Cons

-Wage is low, and raises are almost unheard of. -"Commission" pay applies to limited items, mostly in wine and liquor departments; beer, deli, supplies, and tobacco associates are lucky to get an extra $10 a week, and management gets a cut of all commissions earned anyway. -Discount is laughable -Insurance is pathetic -Nepotism! Nepotism everywhere!

Pros

Laid back chill environment, awesome co workers and nice managers. Employee discount is nice but not great. Job isn’t too laborious and pretty easy if you have good work ethic

Cons

No raises, no proper training, no overtime, only 4 Saturdays a year off, no sitting even if it’s at a computer, flaky co workers who never show up or always call out, high turnover rate
