OK place to work if you are unemployed and scratching for something.

Cashier

Business Outlook

Pros

Flexibility in work schedule, allowing two jobs to be managed. Provides and supports part-time workers with benefits, but only after 90 days of service.

Cons

Fairly restrictive about who gets to the interview process. Be prepared to follow-up unceasingly if you are interested in working here. Benefits only after 90 days. Immature staff. Management continues to emphasize the importance of the cashiers, but still feel like second class workers. Not the best pay, and not apparent what the future would be.

Pros

Several area of opporutnites to explore if you interested in diversifying your expereince

Cons

The culture is so deeply engrained and it is extremely difficult for people to accept changes or understand them. The systems to retrieve information to enable decision making are archaic, hence people constantly question the integrity of the data rather than which solution path would be the best. The performance evaluation varies manager to manager so just hope you find a manager who will be advocate for you. Meritocracy is non-existent. HR policies and performance evaluation need an overhaul. Career paths are not clearly defined hence making it difficult for managers to provide appropriate coaching and direction to their employees. The only thing that is certain is, organizational changes, which consistently tend to disrupt departments as well an individual performance goal for the year as new leaders come onboard.
