Pros

Salary was good and co-workers were great to work with.

Cons

Upper management doesn't respect anybody. Expected to be salary and work 60 hours a week while getting paid for 40. Stores are closing rapidly doing the same things Winn Dixie did that shut them down. No respect for where you have been and what you have done. Very much a who you know type situation to get promotions. Bonuses use to be really good now pretty much non existent as well are raises.

Pros

Weekly pay. Nice co-workers. Mostly nice customers.

Cons

Hardly got to shop any orders due to (1) there hardly being any and/or (2) a certain manager shopping ALL the orders instead of delegating some, as she should have. Dead times as casheirs was a major downside for me, personally. Despised them. Managers being stupid (some and sometimes)/micromanaging. CSM is not the best at her job (though she is mostly nice) and screws up schedules and other things. They can take away your hours out of nowhere. Newer people WILL get brought on with higher pay than you. Hate the company. Used to treat their workers a lot better, I hear. Give more benefits and bonus's and things. Now you get jack all.
