Pros

1. It's a job- you work, you get paid. 2. Regulated hours- you'll always have a certain amount of hours per week. 3. It's an easy, entry level job.

Cons

1. Management takes the word of irate customers over that of employees. 2. Pay could be better. 3. Managers can be stubborn about feedback- The managers I had cared more about the "Friendliness Rating" of the store than they should have. 8 customers who did the survey DO NOT represent the thousands of customers that came in every day. 4. Management does not listen to employees about issues or problems. 5. Their disciplinary policy leaves much to be improved upon- At the store I worked at, more than a dozen employees were unjustly fired for nothing. Management simply twisted situations to make it look like a violation. 6. The union, UFCW does nothing to protect employees from contract violations. 7. It is frustrating to explain confusing promotions to customers, especially the impatient or dumb ones.

Pros

The fashions manager was nice and she was understanding about circumstances and things that just come up in life. The points system was also cool because you could cash out points for restaurant or Mastercard gift cards on top of regular pay.

Cons

After the remodel, they started cutting everyone's hours because they couldn't afford the workers they already had. This was irritating because they would cut part timers down to 12 hours a week but give you four hour shifts, so you didn't qualify for breaks you were already used to and also because four hours is not a lot of time to get down and dirty in a task and actually do it well.
