Pros

Vons has very good work life balance and isn't a tough job to do, but if you care too much about your position the people around you will stress you out. Job security is nice since they can't fire a good worker. You meet a wide variety of people both good and bad. Some jobs are really laid back just talk to you manager about switching around until you find your niche. Don't let them find it for you.

Cons

Management is terrible at least at 1734. They have absolutely 0 leadership experience outside of the sub-par management and supervisor training that they give you. The people stress out about their jobs because of management and it causes toxicity to arise between co-workers since nobody wants to believe they are the cause of the problems. They work you like a racehorse but tell you that its not good enough constantly. If you've got thick skin have at it, otherwise you will hate yourself for working here. They are sketchy will your time clocks and schedule if they don't like you. Favoritism runs deep and if they don't like you keep an eye out for schedule changes.They will write you up for anything if they don't like you but if you stick with the union and don't break any major rules they can't fire you.
