Pros
With a good team of supervisors and management, working for Vons as a bagger can be a very positive experience for a first job. Part time employees are protected under the union and offered excellent benefits with schedule flexibility and break accommodations. Between certain hours the store is always busy and regular waves between down time and hard work offers just the right amount to help the day pass quickly. The management is open to helping you move up an progress if you are a hard worker.
Cons
Very high turnover rate in certain positions; bad management means a hard time when the store gets busy. You are forced to wear professional uniforms including a tie alongside several other dress code restrictions. Some employees and customers can and will be old and/or cranky. When the store gets really busy, you may get exhausted.
