Not so bad...

Pros

Made 35K fresh out of college in 1999. Ideal starter job for someone looking for management experience and the opportunity to advance.

Cons

Managers, as well as associates, put in a lot of hours. Depending on location and hours of operation, the job can be dangerous.

Pros

Everyone fits in together like a second family. Everyone has their place in the store. There's enough drama to keep it from being boring, but not enough to make someone go crazy. The people that end up quiting, don't belong, but you know who's going to stick around for awhile once they're hired. It's a very friendly environment and everyone works together as a team. Any task that one has to do that isn't "fun" can be made fun. Counting cigarettes, scanning outs, and scanning in the truck becomes fun. The routine is wonderful. Waking up early to come to work is not a chore.

Cons

There aren't enough stores in my area for me to advance as soon as possible. Sometimes customers can become very irate and argumentative over coupons. We run out of things too fast, customers expect us to be a Walmart sometimes.

Pros

People your age to work with; sometimes the management is helpful; other employees on your level are good to work with

Cons

terrible compensation; unfair management; disrespectful management; treated as a number rather than a person; management cares more about bonus than giving adequate hours
