Pros

Customers for the most part are friendly, and the satisfaction of completing a project every day made me come to work every day.

Cons

Performance reviews don't exist at our small store so some of the managers get away with their bad management practices. If performance review was taken more seriously I think people would be not only more competitive (and productive), but the managerial environment would prosper, people would enjoy working with their coworkers more.

Pros

Paid breaks. Can be lazy and get the same pay as a hard worker.

Cons

Your high efforts are not rewarded. Benefits only include the time you put into retail that can be considered experience. Although you have the title for a specific position you will still be forced to complete tasks of another position. Although I was a checker, I was also put on hot food line, samples, cart duty, cleaning bathrooms, cleaning spills, watching self check out, stocking, and many more. Any sense of enjoyment with other coworkers gets shut down quick by management. Availability can be ignored by management. Lots of drama with coworkers. No penalty for inappropriate and unprofessional work. Management cares about business more than employees even though it is “employee owned”.
