I've only worked for chain establishments and my curiosity for more mom and pop stores/ boutique stores/ gourmet stores has been chasing after me for a while now. Does anyone have experience with such stores? What would you say the compensation is like compared to your usual grocery stores range?

I’ve worked in both, and mom-and-pop or boutique spots definitely have a different vibe, usually more personal and creative, but the pay can be a bit lower than big grocery chains. Sometimes you make it up with tips or cool perks, but it’s more about the experience than the paycheck a lot of the time.

I've worked both. Boutiques pay less most of the time. I'm sure there are some out there that cater to high end clientele and pay more than the average multinational, but I haven't been lucky enough to find one yet.

Same here! I’ve mostly been in chains, but I’ve been curious about smaller, independent stores too. From what I’ve seen, pay can vary a lot..sometimes a bit higher than big chains, but benefits aren’t usually as strong. It really depends on the store!

Mom & Pop is good & some even pay well & offer benefits.

I’m negotiating my salary, and I’m curious what a reporter/digital editorial lead makes at your company? I have 15+ years of experience in employee communications and TV news, and I live in the Seattle area. I think I’m being shortchanged bc I’m asked to do some of my previous manager’s responsibilities (he was promoted), but I’m paid as a reporter. I report to my director who reports to our SVP, and I’ve worked for this Fortune 20 company for 10 yrs. Any info would be helpful. Thank you!
