Pros

* Benefits (when you work long enough to get them)

Cons

* Low Wage * Amount of Hours per week not stable (minimum guaranteed is 16 for Courtesy Clerks [baggers] and 24 for Food Clerks [checkers]) * Once you've maxed out in wages (which now takes more than 4 years at part-time to full-time), there is no room for growth in the company, unless you move out of the union to store management or corporate.
