Pros

the employees are awesome, kind, and caring the employee benefits are helpful close to where i live pays the bills pay scale is very nice

Cons

#1. Way too busy for the amount of staff we have. #2. You get rude customers that expect you to be all knowing in the checkstand #3. You never EVER have a stable work schedule. you work a 3-11:45 day and then the next day you are there at 8 in the morning. #4. Very hard on the body and mind. #5. If you are 5'7" or taller you could potentially have back problems because the bags at the checkstand are so low you are consistently bending over with just about every order. #6. No baggers!!! #7. They will sometimes have you to cashier despite originally coming in that day to parcel. They also have a tendency to forget this, which requires you to call and remind them of your current position. #8. You are also sometimes left with no breaks due to their negligence.

Pros

I would say the most important Pros is benefits for all employees and employee's discount.

Cons

Even though it says "flexible hours", it is not really flexible. The pay is not fair. Cashiers in non-food departments get less pay than cashiers in front-end doing the same job. The management is different by the store as well as the work environment and culture.
