Pros

Flexibility with hours is great for full-time students or people trying to balance two jobs or teens looking for some money while still being able to balance a personal life. Management is very responsive to personal needs and is very respectful to their employees.

Cons

Pay is horrible, for Courtesy Clerks there is no pay raise, period. I worked as a Courtesy Clerk for 1.5 years and never made a cent over minimum wage. The only reason I didn't quit was because of the flexible hours and good work environment. Once offered a promotion to the meat department, I then only achieved a $0.10 per hour raise and put on three times the responsibility. Once a person is able to get a raise it is only $.05 every 1,000 hours.

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.
