Pros

It's unionized. So there's that at least

Cons

Management fosters a toxic work environment. Hours are very inconsistent and even people who have been with the store don't get a full 40 hours. They initially hired me as a cashier but then all of the sudden they cut my hours and then started making me work as a courtesy clerk too so that I can get somewhat decent hours. When I was hired as a cashier I didn't think I'd have to clean up human waste and I wouldn't have taken the job if I knew that's what I was getting into.

Pros

Health coverage is decent. Union is okay.

Cons

Hours are inconsistent (even to effecting that healthcare) Communication from upper management is kept to the bare minimum. Communication from middle management, equally minimal. Overwhelming stress is mandatory. Gross incompetence is rewarded. Accountability isn't required. Advancement is reserved for favorites only.
