Pros

This company has fairly good base pay, and offers benefits to folks working an average of 20 hours a week.

Cons

Worker averages about 25 hours a week, so if you need a real 40 hour a week job, this may not be the place for you.

Pros

-Better pay than most other jobs in the grocery or retail industry. -Medical, Dental, Vacation Pay, 401K, etc. -They don't dock your paycheck if your register is short.

Cons

I don't even know where to start... - The insane time expectations for ring speed. -Schedule constantly changes and you can't plan anything outside of work. -You will NEVER leave on time. Plan to stay at least 1-3 hrs over what you're scheduled for. -The staff is so limited that you will do the work of 6 people. Because of this, everyone is always behind on something and you're scolded if you don't meet the time standard. -You can't even have a 20 second conversation with anyone (employees or customers) because the staff is so far stretched that no one has time for anything, not even to ask/answer questions. -Lots of heavy lifting to stock the entire store and you have to do it all by yourself. -Injuries are very common. I have a shoulder injury from lifting boxes of large bags rice above my head. -Everyone hates their job and is only there for the pay. The last piece of advice given to one of the employees by a manager trainee was to try to get out as soon as possible, even if it's for a job that pays less. -Overall...too much work, too little staff, too little pay for the work requirements.
