Pros

After 90 days, it's pretty easy to keep your job if you want it. After a year, they give you paid time off based on how many hours you've worked. Most of my co-workers are fairly nice and I get along with them.

Cons

The stress level is extremely high, especially in the food areas. Management doesn't care about the employees and the turn over rate is extremely high. About the time someone is actually getting the hang of things, they're gone again. They have a difficult time even getting people hired into the deli at my store. No one wants to work that department it's so bad. Even when they do hire new people in, they don't train them. They just expect you to start working immediately or within the first hour of being there without even learning how to properly use the equipment. The core values they say they have don't match how they respond to things.

Pros

Direct coworkers were great to work with. I also enjoyed being left to do my work and not babysat by management.

Cons

Management doesn't know what they are doing. Resets and floor plans were regularly not done properly. The store I worked at has a skeleton crew so I never got help (but was expected to stop everything I'm going to go help other departments/areas). Also meaning good luck to any customers needing help, especially when I was the only person working my area of the store, so when I wasn't there, no one was. Management also regularly disappeared into the offices or were on vacation. Also was terminated for reasons outside my control even though I was told they look at the reasons for attendance incidents before termination. Never got to get the FMLA or accommodation to my doctors before being terminated two days after I requested them. Didn't bother asking for a raise either. I did multiple times and got nothing.
