Cons
Favoritism, you’re seen as disposable despite busting your tail. I’ve worked for Vons for almost 4 years with little recognition. I never called out, I showed up on time, every time, I came in to cover shifts and did more than was asked of me because that’s just my work ethic and I wanted to show that I deserved to be paid for my tenacity, dedication and honest good work. I got nothing. Yeah, a gift card as a “thank you” while I watched other employees get promoted to good paying positions (front end) even though I’ve been there longer and proven myself. Favoritism much? Yes indeed. Not senority or work ethic. Favoritism. I was stuck in the Starbucks kiosk for 3 YEARS!! I wasn’t able to get paid anything greater and begged to be taken out. Why would I want to be making coffee for the rest of my life? I’m worth more than that and the management KNEW that about me yet is making it incredibly difficult to promote me to front end? I’m not some teenager who just graduated high school and is working here because my parents want me out the house. I’m in my 30s and cannot live on part time minimum wage!!! Then they want to write me up for lunch violations I wasn’t aware I got while others got violations and only received a verbal warning....again, favoritism... If I get fired for such things I was never valuable to begin with and that would be embarrassed that I worked there so long.
