Pros

You are givin the opp to move up in the company. If you know someone, the starting out pay is decent. Management really cares about their staff.

Cons

The way youll move up in the company is if your a good talker and you have a college degree with no grocery store exp, you are automatically a shoe in. Then the stores are bombarded with young college idiots that try to change everything but dont have a clue what goes on in a grocery store. Also they tend to look down upon you because all of the sudden because this company has givin them the upper hand and suddenly they are better than you.There really isnt much care for your personal life. Having a sick child, you still will get written up for staying at home with them or taking them to a doctor, theres no excuse.
