Recovery Clerk

June - September 2021 • Watchung, NJ

What I liked

I liked that it was relaxed and healthy work envirment with little to no bad expierences. The managers and fellow co-workers were very nice and helped when it was needed. I also liked helping customers on the job and being able to make their shopping expierence better

What I wish was different

I wish there were more workers as at times we were short-staffed which resulted in my co-workers and I having to make up for it.

Advice

My piece of advice would be to always look for something to do whether it be restocking shelves or putting away empty boxes. The job does get a little boring at times when there's nothing to do so I would recommend walking around and finding something to organize or asking a manager if there is anything to help out with. The job is a lot more enjoyable if you're working

Recovery Clerk

May - August 2022 • Williamsville, NY

What I liked

Friendly encouraging managers that encouraged me to perform my very best. Very understanding of employer's needs.

What I wish was different

A bit more training in terms of finding where objects are in the store would be nice. While new employees will generally learn where everything is within the first month, it makes it very awkward to interact with customers while your own knowledge is not much. This is minor because it could just be an expected part of the job.

Advice

Be prepared to do a variety of things depending on when you are scheduled.

Self Checkout Attendant

May - September 2021 • Wilmington, DE

What I liked

The pay was great and my coworkers were all very nice. They also offer 1 hour breaks if you work more than 6hrs.

What I wish was different

Management was pretty rough, the job itself is stressful, customers could be incredibly rude.

Advice

I would recommend this job for seasonal or summer purposes. I think working at BJ's full time would be detrimental to your sanity.

What I wish was different

Advice

The employees were very friendly there and one of them happened to even see me on campus, which I had no idea anyone from Kent worked there as well. Always keep a look out, might find someone you know elsewhere.

Self Checkout Attendant

July 2016 - April 2019 • Camp Hill, PA

What I liked

I enjoyed that there was a company wide minimum wage, not just the minimum in each state. I also enjoyed the benefit of membership to the club as an employee, for myself and 3 other family members. The club I worked for had caring managers and nice co-workers.

What I wish was different

I wish I would have had more regular hours when I was home for the summers.

Advice

I would share that standing for the entire shift is grueling, but my club specifically tried to arrange breaks as optimal as possible to be the best for resting your legs.
