Pros

Decent pay for this type of work with twice yearly raises. Excellent benefits including full insurance (medical, dental, vision) for 28 hours/week (premium is $88/mo), free gym membership, 401k matching , bonus. Effective training program. Flexible hours. Supportive staff and management. Positive, fun co-workers. Frequent food tastings. 20% grocery discount. Everyone does everything so you’re not stuck doing the same job all day and you learn where all the products are located. Opportunities for growth. Extra pay Sundays and holidays.

Cons

Exhausting and hard on body. Job can become repetitive and not intellectually stimulating. Required to work weekends so not much social life.

Pros

-Great way to meet people, socialize, and learn customer service -Always tasked with different things every hour -Friendly crew who will always help you to learn and get better at your job -Get a slight pay raise every 6 months -No outside commitments and amazing benefits if you work full time (about 28 hours a week for every 6 months) -Will take time, but find your friend group, stay with them and have fun, you can't please everybody -Care for your body, do not overdo it with physical labor, its a retail job and you only have one fragile body for yourself, get help or insist about your pains

Cons

-Not many, unless you are stuck in a bad store with bad management -I had some good luck of working in 3 great stores, so YMMV -Sometimes can get cliquey like you are back in high school -Getting promoted up to store management may involve buttering up and being a "yes-person" -Care for your body, do not overdo it with physical labor, its a retail job and you only have one fragile body for yourself, get help or insist about your pains
