Pros

There are no pros, waste of your time and life.

Cons

Worst place to work, people that have been there over 20 years still make 11 an hour, if ur fulltime u can make up to 13/14 being there just as long and they can offer u more. ops specialists are morons they transfer u against your will if your full time further away from home with no notice. There advancement opportunity is lame, only management which pays horrible not good to use on resume. Most people that work there are miserable or worried about the suits who come and complain about everything. Find something that will benifet your future this place has ruined countless lives

Pros

Jewel-Osco is a joke. Poor pay and they deceive employees.

Cons

If you are excited to start at Jewel-Osco because you believe you're in for a lifetime supply of benefits RUN. This company is greedy and they take from employees rather than give. For starters, they pay BELOW the minimum wage. It is really a joke to consider working here considering any other company starts with the basics of minimum wage. Managment is childish and likes to start rumors. Rather then confronting the individual they run to other employees and bash employees. People who have been with the company are bitter and sour. Don't make this your career and hate someone who wants more for their life. Jewel-Osco is a joke. Poor pay and they deceive employees.

Pros

Health Insurance. Higher pay if you have tenure. Guaranteed hours. Paid holidays. Paid vacation. 401k.

Cons

If you are a hard worker, management will take advantage of you big time, and so will your co-workers. Co-workers will do less knowing you will pick up the slack. Management expects you to get twice as much work in half the time. When you are ready to leave after your scheduled time, your boss will tack on last minute tasks for you to get done before you leave. Then, management wonders why you are working more than your scheduled hours. Expect to work every holiday and weekend. The more tasks you know how to do that no one else knows how to do, the more is expected from you. You will then have to rearrange your family and social life to fit around the needs of the department you work. If no one else can be scheduled to do the tasks you know how to do, you have to work those hours. It doesn't matter what is going on in your life. If you are full-time, your life belongs to Jewel-Osco.
