Pros

Nice co-workers, great lunch or dinner selection. Five percent off food purchase at the time and lots of opportunities to work hours.

Cons

No future, bad management that was disconnected or did not care about employees or their jobs. It was a grocery store.

Pros

The management I had cared about her employees..but that depends on the store. Always got enough hours and breaks were given fairly.

Cons

Our senior management changed all the time. There were long hours, and your schedule was unpredicatable, but that's okay, it's retail.

Pros

The people are generally very personable, which makes sense for a customer facing job. Very flexible schedules, can easily work around a busy extra-curricular life.

Cons

Pay isn't great, but it makes for a good first job. Sometimes managers let their "power" go to their head. Definitely feels like you were working for a huge company and not just a corner store.
