Pros

Easy to move up. I started as a bagger. As long as you have a brain and common sense, they will quickly train you to cashier. I spent two years as a cashier. Learn as much as you can as a bagger, you'll be more likely to get off register (i.e. chores around the store- trash, bottle returns, returns). Learned alot about customer service.

Cons

I was commonly by myself as a CSR to manage checkout. Most managers would leave at 4 or 5. I typically worked 4-9 or 4-10. Most of my cashiers would leave at 4 or 4:30 and I wouldn't get more in until 6. You would only get 15 minute break, even with a 6 hour shift. 7 hour shift was two 15minute increments. 8 hours was two 15minutes and a half hour.

Pros

The work itself is easy, co-workers were all very nice and helpful! They feeded us few times and shared cakes that was very nice of them and I appreciate that a lot!

Cons

I had to be at work at 6 am, but that was fine. My problem was I had a bicycle that would brake every week! It rains often on Cape Cod, so you get all wet often if you ride your bike. I had to take some food with me.

Pros

There are no reasons anyone would want to work at shaws

Cons

This company is only focused on numbers and not on their people who make the company successful. Regularly it is thrown in dept level and store manager positions that we get paid too much money. In return since we make too much money we should work ridiculous hours and no time for your family. The money is not worth it.
