Pros

people made us smile mgrs well another story ..

Cons

truck shipments too large ..backroom and sales floor too small for what they send and if mgrs actually worked on the floor and not just in the office or expect the team to do all their work it would be a better place...giving asm and other key members a bonus like they do the mgrs..would actually be nice since we were doing the work in displaying the products selling the products to the customers while the so-called mgr sits in the back on her duff not doing a darn thing ....yeah it's true the mgr i had coul not even merchandise her own store without my help...and she gets paid the big bucks...wow

Pros

Fast paced work environment, which makes your day go fast. In many communities you are doing good by making groceries available because you are the town store.

Cons

They give you almost no training and your district manager probably never worked in a store so they don't know any answers either. Their new model is to be very corporate with all the expectations and none of the PAY to back up the expectations.
