What I liked

I liked how my job allowed me to stay active while shopping around the store for the online customers. The pay was decent for a summer job and the hiring process was fairly smooth with paid training.

What I wish was different

They were severely understaffed and did not take into account my availability.

What I liked

Easy way to make money over the summer. Meet with wonderful staff, willing to help you every step of the way.

What I wish was different

I wish I had spent more time at the register. There was always an opportunity to do other projects such as advertisement or helping with grocery, and I always too it. I never really worked up front for the entire time I was employed. I was everywhere!

Cashier

June 2015 • Suwanee, GA

What I liked

There's opportunity to move up in the store, and there's a lot of customer engagement which can help you find opportunities for other things outside of your job. For example, I met one of the service workers at a car dealership that services my car and now I get discounts on services at that car dealership.

What I wish was different

I wish there had been more communication between managers of different departments and the head manager. Sometimes I was told one thing about a task by one manager and another manager would tell me something completely different.

Advice

Talk to you department managers ahead of time if you need a schedule change, and remind them. And use the online scheduling system as well.

Cashier

June 2018 • Seattle, WA

What I liked

The store was very convenient for me, as it was only a five minute drive from my house. I also had a good relationship with my management and co-workers.

What I wish was different

I had to work until midnight several times per week, which was not ideal.

Advice

I think not helped a lot that I built a strong relationship with my managers and supervisors, so I would recommend that to anyone looking to work in a similar position.
