Pros
You are basically left alone most of the time My shift starts when the customer traffic starts to slow down Easy job Good for part time Flexible hours if you can get the job Co workers are easy to get alone with and the guys I work with in grocery have a sense of humor about having to do this job for a living. Can't get fired if you do your job, because of the union Pay is decent compared to other chains Good job if you just want to stay below the radar and just collect a pay check. Overall a decent working experience. A good temp job. You get paid breaks and a unpaid lunch. Not many companies give you as many breaks in the south. If you play dumb, but do your job well, you are basically ignored.
Cons
The managers talk to the lower employees like we are idiots. All of the managers act like they hate their lives and they are settling for a salaried grocery management position. They tend to take it out on us. Which is pretty funny and sad when you think about it. It is a grocery store. Who wants to stock groceries for a living? This is basically a job you just do because you can't find a career or because the economy is crap. Again, the managers treat the workers like crap They constantly short staff front end, so all of the employees from other departments have to take turns bagging. You get in trouble for talking to coworkers , even for a couple of minutes. The managers hover and seem like they have nothing else better to do than to just stand around and babysit. I could not imagine doing this job for 8 hours. Glad I am only part time.
