Pros

Great co-workers. Always willing and ready to help you out. Most of the time the customers are good to deal with. Most are friendly people. Training - They ABSOLUTELY make sure you are trained, no doubt about it. Whatever you want to know about your job duty they will teach you.

Cons

Management - Corrupt, can never staff enough employees and puts stress on the cashiers. They let me go before my 45 day trial was up because I had a few customer complaints and then on a wic voucher I accidentally read the wic wrong and gave a woman 3 extra baby foods more than I was supposed to. They said it was a "cash loss". Really?! Over 3 dollars?! Can an autistic person make a mistake? Management loves to under staff so they can save there bonuses. My good customer service was never rewarded and the woman lied to hiring manager at my evaluation to get rid of me, she saw first hand my customers were treated decent. Breaks - I almost always had to remind the front end manager to give me a break. Training - At the off site training center they only taught me the bare bones about the cashier position. Everything else I had to learn at my store. But the store did teach me what I needed to know, hence why I put training as a pro.

Pros

• Generally work with fantastic people. • Work is not difficult, and time flies when busy. • My bosses collaborated with me to create a schedule that worked, as I often had other commitments. • Overall, a pleasant work experience most days. Get good at what you do and you'll do fine.

Cons

• Some of the senior management was less friendly than others - as to be expected. • Days were very volatile; some could be extremely easy, and others could be a nightmare. • Scheduling was kept rather limited; although I was able to get the hours I wanted, often times management would look to cut hours from departments whenever possible, leaving less support.
