Pros

Flexible Work Schedule. Nice co workers. Appreciative customers.

Cons

Poor communication from managers. Unskilled in handling disputes. Push employees hard....cool reactions from managers/feel unappreciated. Cutting hours randomly. Indirect retaliation for complaints. Must tow the company line. Obsessive cost measures.....told to go home early or make sure to clock out and in at precise times/at times asked to clock out before your shift is up (minutes are scrutinized), Mistrust of employees (micro managing). Called "Employee owned "( no real feasible benefits0, No input to work conditions. Forever cost cutting. Occasionally placed in dangerous positions. Ladders( w/ no side rails), No attention paid to abilities of workers (e.g. often older workers placed long hours on hauling shopping carts w/no mechanical assistance, Disabilities not recognized. Frenzied atmosphere w/ no team building (like one see @ Trader Joe's for example),

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”.
