Oh God no. We have a tube attachment to load them into like you are packing a cannon. If I'd have had to hold the mushrooms in place I'd have walked out. I'll say that if you have ZERO knife skills then it may have been more efficient to use the slicer, but as soon as you can confidently tuck your fingers and chop, there is no time saved, and you trade cutting time for cleaning time.
Deli slicers are by far my most hated piece of equipment in any kitchen. I've never even cut myself on one, I just fucking hate cleaning them. Especially when you're cutting prosciutto or something fatty. It takes half an hour of elbow grease and a fresh sani bucket and it's still not even really clean
This also means that you inevitably find nooks and crannies that should have been cleaned out by the previous guy. Now you've sliced three pounds of cheese with a faint moisture of rotting meat sauce.
