Pros

Good benefits. Great safety training in most areas.

Cons

Low wages. They want more work, less people and less hours to do it in for the same wage. Despite managements saying that they care about our families, the bottom line is that my family comes second or maybe even third to their bottom line.

Pros

Decent pay and good benefits due to the union. Get a discount on store brands. Supportive co-workers, because we're all in the same boat.

Cons

having to read and sign new corporate policy on an almost weekly basis. Secret shoppers (if we all get great scores, they wouldn't have a job!). Lack of good management.
