This question is like asking which child in your favorite. Produce you have do know food safety requirements, Drug-Gm you have to know about alot of items.
I personally would pick Drug-GM (as long as you have a few decent team members)
Use the "search" feature on this site and read a lot of the comments / discussions on PRODUCE and DRUG GM. Both are a hassle, but if you like working with FOOD you will probably like Produce better. If you like to hand lots of small bottles of cosmetics, medicines, shampoo, etc, etc, you will like Drug GM better.
Why don't you guys realize, that this is very subjective. And if you have to ask others, then you don't belong in either of them.
YOU need to observe and see if YOU would like to do what they are doing.
Are people in those departments happy? Can you see yourself do what they are doing? If you have a preference, then that's what you should pick. If you don't like either of them, please do those people a favor and look someplace else.
It depends on the store and which department is run better. That's all it comes down to when choosing any department. Good DHs and good staff = Good department. Mediocre DHs and short handed = Terrible department.
you better be in shape if you decide to work in produce, if you are on the bottom of the totem poll they will make you break load every shift, depending on the volume your dept do it can be overwhelming
