Pros

Good team, I really like the people I work with! Good management, this is something that obviously varies by store but I like the managers at my store they do a great job for the most part. Easy work. The things you are asked to do really aren't all that hard and not too labor intensive or stressful. Supportive. A lot of folks will help you out with what you are doing and asking questions can be helpful. This kind of goes back to a good team but I think is worth noting

Cons

Fewer available hours. Very strict about overtime and i've heard managers take a lot of the hours for themselves. Low pay. I earn 14.50 an hour but it used to be 12.50. I know other grocery stores pay better. Can be hard to work two departments efficiently. Stopping stocking to assist customers at seafood can be a little infuriating. Basically forces you to manage your time especially if you're a closer like I often am. Some real interesting customers. Really strange and intense people can come in and make it hard to keep up a "customer-oriented" attitude with their entitled and rude behavior.
