Cashier

July - August 2023 • Boone, NC

What I liked

The other coworkers were nice, as well almost all of the customers.

The store manager lies and talks about employees behind their backs, in addition to routinely ignoring scheduling requests and availability.

Produce Associate

June - August 2023 • Suffolk, VA

What I liked

I can focus on my tasks and not have much distraction. My coworkers were fun to talk to for the most part.

What I wish was different

I would have liked to have been taught some specific things that I didn't know about, which I had to learn myself.

Advice

It's a good job if you don't like dealing with a lot people. It is a somewhat cold environment but if you wear layers or a jacket you should be fine. (I'm on leave because of college so I'm still considered an employee).

Cashier

May 2022 • Walterboro, SC

What I liked

Interacting with the customers, the work atmosphere, and the flexible scheduling.

What I wish was different

The pay and the pay rate. I would've preferred to be paid weekly instead of biweekly but that's not my choice so.

Advice

Just go with the flow. If it's your first time cashiering, it can seem difficult at first but soon you'll learn that's it's not so bad. If you're good at counting and keeping track of money, this could be a great position for you.
