Pros

Being a full-time student will not damage your chances for employment. The tasks are simple and very easy to perform.

Cons

Having an adequate number of employees on hand is a rarity. There are many places were a lack of simple organization in management can cause problems in the ability for employees to perform simple day-to-day tasks.

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.
