Pros

Decent co-workers. Help people shop for groceries, stay feed.

Cons

They (managers, fellow workers) treated me during my daylong stint as an Aisles Online Shopper in November 2022. While I got a decent first impression from the person who who hired me on, both of the bosses that I worked with on my shift were so authoritarian and condescending that I decided to quit the job the same day I began. The job only had two saving graces, (a) I had very kind co-workers and (b) I got meaning out of helping individuals find their groceries. In essence, my issues with the management were twofold. First, there was a rigidly enforced dress code (e.g., I had to trim my beard to a certain length). Certain elements of this code, like my example, were overly strict and infringed upon my personal autonomy (and on others' as well, I am sure). Second, and more importantly, I got the distinct impression that these managers did not want to do their jobs (i.e., were lazy). While I was asked for my time off requests beforehand, I got called into the office after shift by these two bosses and told that my schedule "was not going to fly" because "I have too many people to schedule and cannot manage X number of individuals." The gist of our conversation was, "Sorry, but we cannot accommodate your needs because we are too lazy to do our jobs." Utter incompetence and disregard for others' well-being permeates this store's upper management. If you can, please avoid working here.

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”.
