Pros

None. You will literally be bullied and discriminated against. This is a slave contract

Cons

Worst place to work. You will be berated, humiliated and bullied. Once you bring up this issue to management, it will be thrown to the side and the store manager will turn it on you and ask what you did to upset said managers, although you did nothing. Just discrimination, bullying and racism. Unless you are buying things for and bribing the managers, then they will treat you like the dirt on the bottom of their shoes. Also the managers are the biggest thieves but will somehow try and pin you for making the smallest mistakes. I really hope this company changes and gets rid of all the rubbish management. Absolutely horrendous. Will never recommend and will never understand how there are so many customer complaints about management but nothing is ever done. I have watched customers be humiliated and be spoken to so disgusting and said managers will get away with it. How the managers get away with stealing mass amounts of products and meat and fish from the counters and get away with it, I will never know. But it is probably because they all cover up for each other

Pros

Easy braindead work. Anyone can do it.

Cons

One of the managers is a bully, called me uneducated and accused me of threatening to hit him. (For context, I have never in my life been in a fight. The accusation is so far from my character) I became incredibly depressed. Most people there are very rude and turn their nose up at you. Insanely micromanaged, they know what you are up to to the second. I was asked why i signed in exactly 1 minute late (I wasn't even late, I had to queue up to collect my equipment which rolled over 1 min into my shift)
