Cashier
October 2018 • Boise, ID
What I liked
I love the fast paced work environment.
What I wish was different
It's really hard to cross train. It's on the employee to try to make it happen. They have to see you performing the job most times before they will actually allow you to start the training process so you can be certified in the new section. Becoming a trainer didn't give me a wage increase or any other real benefit.
Advice
Be vocal about what you want. The managers in my cafe are really nice, but tend to be forgetful on things they've told me I'm going to be doing (like cross-training) or that I'm due for a break. Keep telong them so they can stay on track and get you to what you need to happen.
