Engaging job with stress and low pay - Cashier/PFS Shopper The GIANT Company Employee Review

Great job to work through school.

Scheduling can sometimes be inconsistent.

Generally very nice peeps work here at the Giant flagship store in Phila PA & it is an attractive place to be at, as far as supermarkets go. Customers are also fairly nice.

Immediate problem is low pay, at least for Front-end, that is less than Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, Aldi & Sprout's... even Acme pays a dollar more & then an additional dollar raise typically after 1 yr of service. Giant management means well but is cheap, imo, which is a reflection of the company's pay ethics, or lack thereof... also, the vibe is more delegating than true managing. Cart guys are treated like a servant class, not seen nor heard from. The work of pushing around 50 lb metal carts over 2 floors & 7 cart corrals can be brutal! Once in this position, you are way too busy to cross train so advancing would mean quitting my current role & starting over with a new department. At the other markets, cross training to keep one engaged & happy is done... but here, once a cart guy, always a cart guy, no matter what management may say, this is the truth, imo.
