Great benefits; little opportunity and paltry raises
Pros
- You have a job - Solid benefits: 401k match, decent health insurance, and you will earn a decent amount of vacation time after a while.
Cons
- The company doesn't care about employee retention. They try to have you do the jobs of several people working with a skeleton crew. - They look externally for applicants to fill newly opened positions before they look internally. - 30 cents an hour flat rate raises regardless of how good or bad you are at your job for full-time employees. There is no differential for minimum wage increases. Old employees making close to minimum wage will get a bump to the new minimum wage and new hires will make more than older employees if the position pays more than minimum. For example, being a meat or deli department clerk.
