Pros

-Tuition assistance -At least it's not a stressful job.

Cons

-Wage is low, and raises are almost unheard of. -"Commission" pay applies to limited items, mostly in wine and liquor departments; beer, deli, supplies, and tobacco associates are lucky to get an extra $10 a week, and management gets a cut of all commissions earned anyway. -Discount is laughable -Insurance is pathetic -Nepotism! Nepotism everywhere!

Business Outlook

Pros

Very little training and nice management. Possibility to earn more if you are willing to pitch store brands to customers.

Cons

Other co-workers are not very willing to help newbies or will sarcastically help. If you work at the front (cashier) you will be able to be very chatty. If you work by stocking or organizing, be prepared to say maybe five words an hour. Lastly, use simple logic when unsure of what to do, management and co-works would rather redo something over answering questions.
