Pros

They have a guaranteed minimum hours because of the union rules, you get to set your schedule and can work in the graveyard shift if your store is 24 hours (boring and slow but don't have to deal with a lot of stuff), easy to get promoted if you've been on the job long enough, and weekly paychecks.

Cons

The pay is a little low and when you add on taxes and union dues it gets even more smaller, there's a lot of crazy people out there and they need to shop for food so most likely you'll get to interact with them which isn't pleasant, working outside grabbing carts when its +90 degrees or raining isn't fun.

Pros

Excellent, straightforward, comprehensive training program and learning modules to ramp up quickly. Management was reasonable and attentive. It was welcoming and I felt respected, and gave my all as a result. They also make sure people don't stay longer or go without a break after the 5-hour mark; this is a California statute with which I was unfamiliar (I was guilty of working long hours without a lunch break in CT due to

Cons

This likely comes with the territory, but a significant percentage of the target customer demographic are of the needlessly disrespectful, uncivil, infantile, entitled, and rich variety. They contrive conflict and attempt to pin it on the workers, or needlessly change their order after it has been obtained. It is child's play. Company policy says to never call the police unless they are a threat to safety, but they absolutely do disturb the peace and ruin the experience for others. It doesn't help that there is an expensive (not necessarily upscale in terms of class) drinking establishment in the same plaza.
