Pluspunten
Starts off great when you are new and the store is clean and bright. Most employers are nice and try to relate to you as a person most of the time.
Minpunten
Once you are crossed trained, you get a bit burnt out as you are now in a position of being able to cover many breaks in different positions and never know if you will stay in the same spot. Worst place to be is the self checkout. There is Grocery and GM (general merchandise) self checkouts (just means the areas they are at, not that you can only purchase those kind of items) the worst one to be at is Grocery as there are 13 registers and should have 2 or 3 attendants there to assist customers. Due to understaffing, there will be days where there is 1 person by themselves. I was that person many times and even on my first Black Friday there. I was surprised I didn’t quit that day. Self checkout also has people who can fill their carts up to the brim and checkout there and we need to keep an eye on them for any assistance. Breaks are forgotten about unless you ask and scheduling is all over the place. I can never get a weekend off after working so many weekends before as they are super busy and I’ve been available then from school. I now work after school anyways and so I thought I need at least a day where I didn’t have to worry about going anywhere super important so I tried trading a Wednesday for a Sunday. They were reluctant but tried to. But that was few and far between as well as me working both days despite me asking for a better work life balance with years of no rest. I also didn’t get the start pay when I was hired. I heard it was supposed to be $15 but when I started they asked how much I got paid at my previous job and put me down for that (it was less than that). I now am at that $15 but with my schedule being crazy it doesn’t matter. Insurance is also a joke as part time doesn’t qualify and if you do it takes most of your pay to where you’re just trying to pay off the insurance.
