Pros

Some really decent and nice people to work with. Employee meal bundle (free chips, drink) with really good sandwiches. You get a little exercise. OK job for students.

Cons

The amount of education / degrees / certifications you have mean nothing - you start as a courtesy clerk and getting "promoted quickly" didn't happen during my stay. The promotion job postings strictly state "courtesy clerks ineligible for food service positions". It is a grocery store, what else are you supposed to do? Spend $500 there (that's, like, a month's pay if you're likely part-time) to receive a $25 gift card. Random days/hours (work until very late one night, only to be scheduled for 6AM or earlier the very next day). Not cool. You work your ass off for a pat on the back. Do the job well, and they pile on - Four different people squawking in your ear to do this or that. Some employees are weird / unfriendly / unhelpful. Middle management can be annoying. Customers can be condescending and annoying.

Pros

Courtesy Clerk is the best position. Easy work for minimum wage. Do it, thats the best position for part time

Cons

Management does not give respect. IF you go to an outside department you will want to shoot yourself. This is not an exaggeration. If you move to an outside department (i.e. Bakery, ProduceMeat or Service Deli) you will do 3x the work for the same minimum wage.

Pros

some of the co-workers are fun and nice

Cons

the pay really does suck!!! and only if you related to management then you have nothing to worry about because you can get away with everything and i do mean everything. but if your not related then you get in trouble for just about anything.
