Pros

A deli worker might enjoy the fast pace and social side of the job, especially if they like talking with customers and working as part of a team. They may like preparing food, learning slicing skills, and feeling productive during busy rushes. Discounts on food and flexible schedules can also be perks. On the other hand, they might dislike standing for long hours, dealing with impatient customers, handling repetitive tasks, and working early mornings or late shifts.

Cons

The job can also be stressful during peak times, and keeping everything clean and up to health standards requires constant effort.

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.
