Pros

Flexible hours. Diversity. Generally nice co-workers.

Cons

Overworked with a skeleton crew and told that we will not be getting any more staff except one cook. You will never get full-time, the only time you might is if the only full-time in your department quits, and even then they may give it to some new person, or just not care at all. Underpaid to where groceries are never affordable and can't even pay for health insurance. Constantly adding more work from corporate without them knowing the job. Corporate said "get rid of the most popular items, the customers will love it." Supposed to be employee owned, but its definitely corporate owned.

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”.
