Pros

it’s a job. you get food occasionally. we got a 100 dollar bonus 1x.

Cons

you will do all the work. you get the worst schedule. you have to work 50 hours a week. you get the lowest pay for manager with the most work. people constantly calling in and you have to fill in for them. you get blamed for everything. corporate controls your inventory and then when it’s wrong it’s your fault. you will get past up for promotions for other employees who sleep with underage employees bc they have to move them to other stores. your schedule goes from day to night then back to days then nights then midday. you work every holiday, then off when everyone when your family goes back to work.

Pros

- Interesting and diverse problems to solve - Tons of impact - Highly visible output

Cons

- Grocery retail runs on razor thin margins so there's very little growth opportunities for employees - All the teams are staffed in a very scrappy way for a company that is so large - Not very invested in tech, still operates as an old school business - A ton of your effort will be change management vs good design, which could potentially hamper your career - Lots of management turn over without a defined process in place leads to stagnant career growth

Pros

Relative good pay while in college. People are really fun to work with for the most part.\ Very flexible schedule making. The discount is okay but best when its increased for certain events.

Cons

Management. Practically useless and will lie to you and have blatant in your face favoritism. Upper management. Even more useless and will treat you like nothing if you don't stroke their ego if you want to get their recommendation for a promotion. Its very much a who you know kind of business and it unfortunately keeps college educated people away from moving up after spending YEARS working for the company but will promote the new brown noses with 1 year experience.
