Little support from managers, return policy makes for stressful customer interaction

Pros

I enjoyed the cultural aspects of working at this Asian grocery store. Some of the coworkers were really, really nice. The cultural tradition festivals the store puts on over the course of each year are lots of fun.

Cons

Way too much stress and not enough support from management. The pressure was way too much, and they give you so little to work with. At one point, my department manager was doing the work of two people for the same pay, which meant they didn't have time to support us in our department.

Pros

The benefits package isn't bad for a grocery store

Cons

Low pay, management doesn't care about you, high-work load for the pay, sometimes people work off the clock, be prepared to be worked to the bone and be blamed for things that are out of your control.
