Pros

They pay you on time You will have some autonomy, but I hear that's going bye-bye very quickly

Cons

You're upper management will be a mess of young, clicky tools who will kiss the butt of the next up in line while throwing you under the bus. This butt-kissing is very prevalent throughout this Company. You're Job will be very physically demanding They will call you up and expect you to check and bag while other departments get a pass. You will NEVER get a thank you. Hard work doesn't pay here. You will get no help as store managers will cut your labor costs, so it will end up being you and another part time associate to work trucks. You will always be behind the 8 ball. Corporate will send you (pawn off) garbage product with zero chance of it selling. It will expire and you will throw it away. Thousands of dollars of product weekly will get dumped. Your product will most likely be 20%+ cheaper at Walmart, making your 10% discount worthless.

Pros

Paid breaks. Can be lazy and get the same pay as a hard worker.

Cons

Your high efforts are not rewarded. Benefits only include the time you put into retail that can be considered experience. Although you have the title for a specific position you will still be forced to complete tasks of another position. Although I was a checker, I was also put on hot food line, samples, cart duty, cleaning bathrooms, cleaning spills, watching self check out, stocking, and many more. Any sense of enjoyment with other coworkers gets shut down quick by management. Availability can be ignored by management. Lots of drama with coworkers. No penalty for inappropriate and unprofessional work. Management cares about business more than employees even though it is “employee owned”.
