      Pros

      The benifits is good. the starting pay is $13 an hr so dont cheap yourself.

      Cons

      Leadership is very Foney, they pretend to like you but they dont. All the managers secretly hate their job, so they will make your life hell if they dont like you.

      Pros

      Fun people to work with. Pay is pretty good considering it's a grocery store. You can potentially get two raises a year. Can possibly get a double raise (double bubble) if you're "top tier." Benefits package is pretty good. Kinda laid back environment depending on your Captain and Mates.

      Cons

      There is heavy lifting and you will be on your feet for your entire shift. Unfortunately it's a good chance you will get hurt on the job. There is no room for advancement. Management does play favoritism. The hours are crazy for the Mates. They have some Crew Members that don't do anything and you will have to pick up the slack. Some customers come in and feel entitled. The company is changing and they are messing with the pay scale and benefits. Everyday is repetitive. Some Mates don't know how to write the log (duties for the day), so they'll copy the previous log. There is no team work amongst the Mates. They will throw each other and Crew under the bus when given the chance.
