Cashier
May 2018 • Cranberry Township, PA
What I liked
I have great coworkers who made going to work enjoyable. The company also holds many events for their staff to show appreciation.
What I wish was different
I really enjoy my job and there’s not much I’d change about it. I do think there could have been more COVID precautions taken to keep staff safe after we went into the green phase.
Advice
My advice would be to make friends with and get to know your coworkers. I would also advise to understand that there will be good and bad customers and just to remain calm and not let the bad ones get to you.

Retail
October 2019 • San Antonio, TX
What I liked
Made some friends, got that bread, and was able to fit my schedule to be able to do my summer classes as well so that was nice.
What I wish was different
I wish the coronavirus didn't happen. Working outside in the heat during summer is already rough, but add wearing a mask and having to do everything very differently to abide by safety regulations and it was one of the harshest summers I had been through.
Advice
I would say to try not to get burned out. Pace yourself and you'd be surprised by how durable the human body is and what it can take. Just try not to abuse that power for your own sake.

Sales Associate
April 2020 • Cranberry Township, PA
What I liked
I enjoyed learning how to interact with customers at a retail store. Many different customer interactions caused me to learn how to approach certain people and lead them to what they need.
What I wish was different
I wish I could have received more hours, but given it was a part time position, I did manage to pull in about 30-36 hours per week.
Advice
That the sale of a product is all about how much you truly value the customer and the company you work for, not forcing them to buy something that they do not need.
