Pros

Lots of different options, you do not have to be in the same place for the rest of your life

Cons

Not always given the chance to give and receive feedback in a timely manner. Not always aware of what the plan is and why things are happening.

Pros

the workflow can be very nice esp in a high volume store. management is for the most part experienced and able. co workers are like a family.

Cons

some H/R issues in the company right now. My pay has been messed up a couple times and lack of communication about it. RETAIL can hurt your feelings... gotta shrug it off.

They are getting more incomprehensible and harder to work for every year.

Meat cutter

Business Outlook

Pros

The Union negotatated benefits are pretty good, and it actually deters one from becoming a salaried employee because any pay raise would be offset by the money put into healthcare. Being a full time employee means at least a guarantee of 48 hours a week. So it is job security for those who are steady and reliable. The pay for a skilled trade such as meat cutting is lower than the national average, but it is still better than the majority of clerks.

Cons

It is a very stiffling workplace. They have so many different priorities that employees are caught in a morass of conflict and Catch 22. Everything is vital and must be done yesterday, but they keep staffing to the barest minumum and expect the strictest of standards to be followed to the point that one person must do the work of two or three. Yet they have so many different managers and suits and executives giving you directives to follow every single day all at once that you cant make a move without being wrong. They play games with the numbers to keep the hours to a minimum, compared to what they actually want accomplished. Customers are disappointed, employees are disappointed. It is actually self defeating because a better morale would lead to better sales. The job is hardest for those who care about it the most.
