Lumber Associate
May - July 2019 • Shorewood, IL
What I liked
The management team and other associates were kind and we all got along well. There were many morale boosting events hosted by the store throughout the year. The pay, for the amount of work I was expected to regularly perform, was fair.
What I wish was different
I had entered this position expecting to work the entire summer. I was unaware that the season according to the company referred to May and June instead of May through August. I was laid off in July. Not fired as the manager and assistant manager insisted this was a decision from corporate and that I was welcome to apply again at a later date.
Advice
Make sure that you fully understand the language of the job offer you are applying for. Your definition and the company's definition of words may not be the same. Also, having a more open availability will increase the likelihood that you will receive hours and be kept on when others are let go.
