Best thing
College discount and hours given as well as availability of food as you work in a supermarket. Great mangers who are really understanding, but we need a replacement checkouts manager. Hardly any complaint on the environment and amenities are always available and well maintained. Great store and kind staff who respect one another. It's far superior to any other retail positions I've worked prior, and has great working befits to add.
Worst thing
The hourly pay could be increased to match the rising cost of things, the constant theft of products adds a lot of unwanted stress to staff and they should really invest in a proper security officer. Breaks aren't paid for but are shorter to combat this, so you could work 9hours but only received 7.5 hours pay.
