Business outlook
Pros
Best reasons are for the benefits and the fact that once you are union you pretty much just have to show up to keep your job. Decent pay for journeyman food clerks, GREAT pay when you consider how much you would make at a retail store performing similar tasks.
Cons
High turnover rate. Non-serious/dedicated employees (typically age 16-21 crowd). New hires fall under new contract that requires insane amounts of hours to achieve decent pay, yet still are expected to work as hard as the higher payed employees. A lot of flexibility is required, basically if you are not in school you have to be available all the time. It can take a long time to get a set schedule.
