Pros

The only pro of the job is that you get to be seated while checking people out.

Cons

It's intentionally understaffed and employee turnover is high. I remember one of my assistant managers joking how she was surprised that I was still working there at the 3rd month mark since so many employees left by then. You're responsible for all but managerial tasks and will be extremely micro managed, including being timed at the registers. At the end of every shift, they go over your "score" on your speediness and I was threatened to be laid off if my score wasn't consistently higher than 80.

Expect to hustle for the high pay

Business Outlook

Pros

Higher pay than most other cashier/stock positions, time off was usually accommodated if proper notice was given

Cons

They're not paying you higher wages for nothing--all actions are tracked for efficiency--number of pallets stocked, number of items scanned when at the register, etc. Hustle is expected and if you slack for too long thinking you arent noticed, you'll be dropped later down the line. Bitter management class that is taught to prioritize numbers and efficiency over respect and consideration employees that actually keep the store running, expect to keep your head down and do your work or you risk getting caught up in petty work drama
