Pros

Union representation protects from shady management practices and management.

Cons

Constantly cutting hours and demanding more get done with less. QueVision is the worst. It can call for 7 lanes open but only 5 people in the store who can run register. We aren't allowed to schedule enough people because even though they have explicitly stated that the forecast system is inaccurate and they are looking into it they still won't let us write better schedules because we are graded by how close we are to forecast. Then when we don't have help like we said we wouldn't, somehow it's our fault. No accountability on behalf of district leadership.

Pros

Get an employee's discount. Have to be allowed to take 3 breaks - two short breaks and a lunch break (if you work at least 8 hours). Night Manager is very chill and was a great boss. The pay was actually pretty good.

Cons

3rd shift is looked down upon - didn't care about a machine not completely working until it started to not work during 1st shift. There is also a lot of work they want you to get down in a short amount of time, but there isn't enough people to do it - can't be watching the self-checkouts and returning items at the same time.

Pros

Pay was ok. Met a few good people

Cons

Management mostly out of touch from other assistant managers to store managers and up. No live work balance and they do not care of family obligations at all. They talk a big game but cannot walk the walk. The union keeps employee mislead and under paid and none are the wiser. Standards are high but no one teaches the people how to get to the standard.
