Pros

The company is very accommodating with students and their varying schedules. It is a steady job with decent benefits.

Cons

It has been a downhill since Supervalu took over Shaw's. There is very little done by the company to motivate employees. There is a lot of micromanaging, which makes it difficult for employees to perform successfully, especially when labor hours are constantly cut. Many employee benefits were cut down or cut out all together. The company's values also seem to have shifted from outstanding customer service to merely making a profit.

Pros

It wasn't the worst job that I ever had. My coworkers and the managers were nice enough, the pay wasn't terrible, and the majority of the customers were polite. Once in a while you'll deal with someone rude or a downright creep, but you'll have that with any customer service job. As for the pace, it ebbs and flows. During meal times there's a big rush of customers getting last minute items, and they tend to peter out over the next couple of hours until the store is almost dead. Then as the next mealtime approaches, it rises again. In short, expect about an hour of excitement, gradually slowing down over the next hour, then 2-3 of silence.

Cons

My experience (not everyone may have had it) was that I was often called in only 3-9 hours a week, and was often sent home early because of a dead store.

Pros

It was great because it was down the street from my high school, so I was able to go make some money after school ended on the weekdays.

Cons

You can't sit down for long periods of time, and sometimes management seems pretty distant. Time and a half pay on Sunday was a godsend.
