Pros

Good first job Customer service/retail experience

Cons

No "employee discounts" Useless benefits for part time students Long hours of standing with only 10 min break Maintaining a pleasant customer service facade with annoying customers really drains you AWFUL new cash register design makes everything 100000% harder I walk in every day wanting to die knowing how much I'm going to suffer for $7.50 an hour Never get more than 10-12 hours a week

Pros

fellow employees were great to work with. Everyone helped each other out.

Cons

The manager was racist and did'nt do his job. Said he would fix things that were not right, but never did. After working all by myself a 11 hour day with no overtime, went to him to see why he didnt fix the issues that have been going on for years yet, i was told to leave untill my attitude changed......Got no thank you for all i did in my dept. the day before or in the last 5 months when i was the only seasoned deli employee, had to work full time hours, train new workers with no benefits or thank you's,. I like my job even if it was hard to do my work, after i had to do the other deli employees job because he did not make them do their job( they would not be in the dept. half the time and left early 4 out of 5 days and not finish their work, so i had to finish theirs before i could do mine. I blame manager of the store because in my opinion he was not manager material, and always got rid of the employees that actually did a good job, and kept those who did not....He got called HR on three months in a row, and nothing happened, he is still doing a bad job...And is very racist against white people, so if you are white...Dont go to Moncks Corner to get hired..Because you will be doing 5 times as much work with no benefits, and no appreciation of aqll your hard work....

Pros

Pretty laid back regarding time off, and semi-flexible hours. The work is not too hard either.

Cons

A general sense of laziness from management, and we always seem to be behind on our work because of a lack of hours, and again, poor management.
