Pros

. My co workers were so nice . a union for those who need medical and it's nice to have a union rep to defend you etc. .some customer's not all . you get pay every week

Cons

. Get ready to get treated like low scum by supervisor's , store manager's and manager's. . Minimum wage job. $8.00 Here in CA. . if you're a hard worker get ready to be the one to pick up the slack of all your "seniority" coworkers. . minimum hours as a Gm bakery clerk are 24 a week . constantly Breathing down your neck by managers checking up on you at all times. . the employee's here dislike the job, but most work for the health benefits or they can't find another job. . Big EGOS here especially with supervisors . Favoritism Big TIME! . Will work you to the last sweat if they can .Say goodbye to social time and be pre pare to be on call. . if you're on your probation be aware your union rep comes at any time to ask how you are doing to your coworker's and if your coworkers don't like you well you better find another job. .vons won't work around a second job I have seen many employees get fired or quit because Von's purposely schedules them to work when they can't due to another job. . union fees eat up your minimum pay check everyweek. . they make you wear black slacks and a business casual shirt ..really we work in a grocery store not a bank.

Pros

Great coworkers, great customers, good opportunities if you choose to work hard and stick around when you start out at $7.25 an hour. A guaranteed minimum of 20 hours a week if you're part time. I was quickly moved to the meat department within weeks of being hired

Cons

Super low pay starting out, never more than 20 hours a week, some managers are micro managers. Too aggressive with customers in order to drive product sales, union dues coming out of your already tiny check, no real discount for shopping, prices are extremely high, constant paranoia of mystery shoppers and getting bad scores (1 bad mark and you fail the mystery shop)
