Pros
Shaw's was my first retail job and I hated it at the time, but I've since held other similar positions and this was by far the best. -Management is realistic and usually helpful -Training is satisfactory -The pay is quite good for retail- I was making $9.50 ($12/hr on Sundays and holidays) from the start -Advancement opportunities are pretty decent if you want to move up in the company (which I didn't) -Good recognition of hard work -Acceptable benefits -Reasonable hours and pretty good flexibility for time off and schedule change requests
Cons
Well... it's retail. Rude customers and mindless, repetitive tasks come with the territory. It's not a fun job, but it's really not bad for its type.
