Pros

employee discount on store brands

Cons

-Perpetually short staffed yet always trying to cut hours further. (Yay, mess up my paycheck to short me one week then slash a third of my usual hours from my schedule the next week, bet someone got a bonus for reducing labor costs.) -Sometimes we have only 1 employee to cover 3-4 jobs. And it's not entirely lack of hiring. Unlike the 4 (maybe more? Some I never even met before they left) new hires that have come and run screaming in the last 3 months I'm still here. -Managers constantly contradicting each other on what they want done, ripping us apart for not getting back-end stuff done when it's like WTF? Am I supposed to tell the customers at the counter sorry, can't help you, the manager said new salads and sandwiches are a priority and wants them done now? Maybe I should. Let's see how long before some Karen is screaming at them instead of at me about how long it's taking because I'm one person with a line of 4-5 customers. Near useless union.

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.
