Pros

Nice coworkers, and the customer Service Managers are great. A somewhat feeling of family.

Cons

You have to work with kids, or disabled. I don't have a problem with either or, but when you are the only one getting carts, or running for them items customers forgot it is unfair. You have one person doing the job of three, and still being paid only $7.31 and hour. They will work you in other departments that normally pay higher at that same rate of pay. And rarely give front end workers (baggers) more that 30 hours a week. So many of the benifits are available to them. .

Great benefits, good discounts and amazing stock options. Nice pay. Very friendly environment.

Cons

The customers. Corporate's little knack of adding "new ideas" to your job for their benefit. Dynamic selling.

Pros

Pays very well compared to other grocery stores Most work is pretty easy Good place to make a career out of if that is what you want Good benefits A lot of staff so workers are rarely overwhelmed even on holidays

Cons

A lot of cleaning, namely of public bathrooms which can include vomit/feces-not fun. Meetings are usually pointless and repetitive
