What I liked

I liked the laid back environment. The dress code was relaxed and it felt like a family.

What I wish was different

I wish when employees went above and beyond that they were recognized more for it. I also think that tasks for the day should be allocated better.

I think that it is a job that you get back what you put in. If you show up everyday with a good attitude ready and willing to work everything should go smoothly.

Cashier

May - August 2018 • Plainfield Township, MI

What I liked

At work, employees were almost always busy. There would be some dead time between rushes, but not too much. The other employees, supervisors, and managers were positive and kind, so the atmosphere was healthy. Also, the company provides plenty of breaks to its employees, so you are able to get away from the fast pace for a little bit during the work day. The supervisors also try to tailor schedules to their employees' preference for short or long shifts.

What I wish was different

Sometimes the technology was a little challenging to work with, i.e. the self-checkout machines, the pinpads, and the older point of sale program on the computers used to complete the transaction. Sometimes these would go out.

Advice

Remember this is retail--there are always going to be upset customers even if you did everything right, and sometimes you are just not going to know all the answers, especially as a new employee. Always remember to ask for help from other coworkers, but know that in retail rush-hour situations, others may be busy as well. Do everything in your power to assist, but be patient with yourself and customers.

If you're a new cashier somewhere, make sure you go around the store once or twice just to have a vague idea where things are. That's the number one thing customers will ask you.
