Pros

Met some great coworkers, developed people skills. Flexible hours and paid time off (thank you union). Good job for working your way through high school/college.

Cons

Dealing with customers and management could be stressful, stores were almost always understaffed. Management tended to be pretty obtuse. Pay is low for the amount of work you are expected to do.

Pros

Great co workers in grocery dept.. formed some good friendships... good time off... had great grocery mgrs

Cons

Lack of training... favoritism... I should have won associate of the year.. but was beat out by a woman that did absolutely nothing all day... literally Sat in the store managers office all day talking... managers favored girls waay to much. Not much room for advancement... I worked there from 2003 - 2009... full time... was a great place to work... but became a sinking ship...
