Pros

The people you work with and even the customers are nice to be around. The work itself isn't too demanding, and honestly once you get in the groove it can be fun.

Cons

The current deli manager is an absolute snake in the grass. She treats you nice to your face, but if you don't work like a horse on meth she'll give you less and less hours till you quit. She'll lie and say "we just don't have enough hours" then hire two new people to replace you. Don't even try working here if you're disabled in any way. You'll get pushed out faster than a wet dog in a nice house.

Pros

They (management) can be reasonable at times, such as with your breaks and scheduling.

Cons

My current management isn't giving me enough hours to be even decently sustainable, yet they have open-shifts available that they could assign to anyone, so why not give those hours to people who are severely underscheduled? If you want your workers to work for you, treat them right and compensate them fairly, and stop expecting them to come in everytime you text them just because someone else called out, maybe you need to give the people who constantly call out less hours because they aren't being reliable, and you need to give more hours to the people who do come to work and get things done, because they've proven to be reliable and willing to come in on their assigned days.
