Pros

The hardest job I've ever had - and the most rewarding career. Love it!

Cons

Not a ton of con's - people work hard, but they are valued for it.

"Clicky" managers and district managers.

Pros

Acceptable pay but they will take years off your life to get it. Benefits are ok but not really better than similar jobs. 401k package.

Cons

"Clicky" managers and district managers. If you are not accepted, you might as well look for another job. Hard labor environment. Even with past MGR experience they really care more about your ability to lift heavy boxes over your head than your skills as a leader. 50+ hour work week plus required off hour functions with mandatory attendance.

Pros

The employees in my store are great to work with. That's a big plus in any job. The stores are smaller than major food store chains, so you can get your work done, it's not a never-ending task. Many of the customers are restaurant owners and organizations that shop regularly. You get to know them, and for someone looking for another job, these could be contacts.

Cons

GFS is like all other "modern retail" stores. They schedule erratic shifts and pay minimum wage. Cashiers have to mop, collect the garbage and clean the bathrooms at the end of the day. You're on your feet your entire shift. The store is mystery shopped every two weeks. There are contests for increasing the average number of items purchased and signing up new businesses. Raises given are miniscule. Bonuses are based on the store's performance.
