Pros

Great overall environment. The place is filled with customers all day, at times it may be busy but the time does go by fast.

Cons

Lots of walking around and at times you have to get carts. It can be extremely busy. Job is full of physical work never able to sit down

Pros

Workers can be great Great starting job Pay is what is expected Somewhat easy to get days off although not always what is wanted Sometimes get to enjoy the customers you meet Gain valuable experiance Good for when your in school

Cons

Management can be annoying Change in policies often Get very picky with what can and cant be done Treated as lower Above and beyond work is not always recognized Secret Shopper is a very large inconvienence to everyone. This in my opinion, hurts more than helps Sometimes its learn things yourself with little direction. Even if you do more work then employees, all you may get if lucky is a good job. Rarely anything special.

Pros

Gives you job experience, making it easier to get a new job Pretty flexible with your schedule Generally nice coworkers

Cons

Occasional miss-comunications that result in the balme being put on you Thankless job Rare recognition of a job-well-done, other than a "thank you" Because it's part of the union, really hard to get promoted because everyone else has seniority over you Underpayed for the work you are doing
