The Work Atmosphere At Target

After working at McDonalds for three weeks, I began to make new friends and was glad that I didn’t decide to quit my job. I enjoyed that I could earn my own money and didn’t have to ask my mother for money anymore. Work had been great after the first customer incident happened. I had not received any customer complaints and my manager said that I might employee of the

I had put an application in at Publix, I went back a couple days later sat in my car for a little bit and decided I was going in there and ask to speak to the store manager. I went in asked for the store manager and he promptly came out. I immediately stuck my hand out and gave him a firm handshake and introduced myself and started spilling out my experience while working at Winn Dixie for the past 6 years in NC. He asked me my name and then told me he would pull my application. Before I could reach my house, he called me to set up an interview for the next day. I went to the interview and felt very comfortable with all the question he had asked me because Ihad been doing the same type of work for Winn Dixie, and every question he asked me

Ehrenreich chooses Minnesota at whim. After some internet-based research, she is convinced that there will be a comfortable correspondence between rent and wages. She decides she wants to work for retail, and applies to Wal-Mart. After the process of applying which includes a survey and a drug test, she is later hired for $7 per hour. Working at Wal-Mart makes Ehrenreich realizes there isn’t much human interaction in retail. “I could be a deaf-mute as far as most of this goes” (Ehrenreich157). There are also the people in the store who tend to make work a living hell and can turn regular chipper people into angry, cranky pushovers. “Once I stand and watch helplessly while some rug rat pulls everything he can reach off the racks, and the thought that abortion is wasted on the unborn must show on my face, because his mother finally tells him to stop” (165). In many cases the “smiley” greeters who welcome people into the store, are very unhappy and think unkind thoughts about everyone who comes to visit the store, “I even start hating the customers for extraneous reasons…” (165). This sudden change in character can be strenuous on a worker, regardless of their personality. Resenting the people who workers work for isn’t a healthy trait. “ ‘Aggressive hospitality’ gives way to aggressive hostility” (165).

While my job isn’t the best; it’s better than nothing. Working in the past eight months at Rite Aid, I’ve seen employees come and go at least once a month. My job title is “Sales Associate”. This merely doesn’t describe all my responsibilities. They range from receiving new merchandise on Mondays and Thursdays, which what we call ‘truck night’ to mopping the floor of pharmacy before I am able to call it a night. We are understaffed and consequently, I am overloaded with duties and by the time the morning comes, I am exhausted to the point where I am unable to concentrate in school. During the eight months, the majority of the Monday and Thursday nights, it has been the Night Time Assistant Manager and I. this is basically two people single

I graduated high school back in 1994. I was engaged to be married in just two years, and even though I joined the Pennsylvania Air National Guard right after graduation it was only one weekend a month and two weeks out of the year. So I needed a full-time job. A friend of the family knew a guy who was opening a second store, and was going to need a store manager. I took the job and got started. What I didn’t know was the guy I was just hired to work for was a little confused as to what he wanted. I hung onto the job for a little over a year hoping it would turn around but, no dice.

I found out about the job at Oshkosh from a friend that knew the manager there. I went in and applies for the job and when I turned in the application I made sure to turn it into the manager so that I could meet her. Then next

I am excited about this assignment because I hate my job. I currently work as a CSR at Family Dollar. I started there about a week after school ended and I started hating it a week or so later. I kept the job because I get paid weekly and my hours are good. I also kept this job because its hard finding jobs when I return home for the summer. The work setting causes me stress. A poor relationship with my boss is the number one issue in this setting. The store has been through three assistant managers and four employees since I’ve began working there. The store manager is the main reason the company can’t hold on to workers. She is rude, lazy, and she over works you. The workload is overbearing and the time pressure makes it much harder. For instance, every task she gives is timed and she constantly nags about how long its taking you regardless of how hard the task may be. Putting out stock is timed, but the amount of time given to you is hard to make. I don’t mind working hard at a fast pace, but some of the tasks she requires is extreme. I worked at a previous family dollar and my task was four totes before my shift ended. She requires five totes an hour and says that’s company’s policy. She doesn’t help on register even if the line is long. She doesn’t help recover or do any stock, she doesn’t do anything, but dictate how you do your job. She doesn’t communicate well with others; most people see her as rude. As you can see the store manager is the problem with the stress at

I am a proud graduate of Texas Woman’s University where I earned a Bachelor’s of Science in Psychology with a Minor in Family Studies in 2009. After graduation I began working with Harris County’s Mental Health Mental Retardation Authority (MHMRA) as a Service Coordinator for four years. My duty was to monitor health related services for a case load of 45 clients with disabilities. Every month I made visits to the homes of my clients to ensure their needs were being met and they were satisfied with their health care provider. Although rewarding, after four years I needed a change. In March of 2014 I joined “Corporate America” via Stewart Title Company as a Benefits Coordinator in the human resources department. One week in, and I knew it wasn’t for me. When Mrs. Johnson called me into her office to

After 01/25/16, midnight eastern time, I relinquish all of my obligations of being a DSA 11 and my employment with RHA Health Services, LLC. It has truly been an honor serving this company for 1 year and 1 month, my ultimate goal was to stay additional five months until I graduate. However, I remember when I graduated from Mary Baldwin College with a BA in biology a year ago, I was just 22 years old and only had 3 years of experience working as a library assistant in college. The first job I was offer was being a store manager at Dollar General. The district manager had contacted me over the summer. I realized, I just only wanted something part-time and sufficient healthcare experience until I finish obtaining my Medical Lab Technology certification

Saturday afternoon I jump down from the tractor, splashing mud up my leg, coating my feet in unknown substances since I so naively decided to wear flip flops to work. I groan loudly, and gingerly climb into my truck to make my way home for lunch, glad I have a short day at work and can make my way home for a homemade burger. These have been my weekends for years, with the exception of winters where I am blessed enough to only have indoors work. My job at Windy Ridge Dairy has been time consuming and exhausting, yet beneficial. Full time in the summers and weekends during the school year, some weekdays, of work since 9th grade (summers since 7th) has been difficult, but I’ll never regret the traits such work has brought out in me.

On my previous job, I used to be a sales associate and most of the times I was helping customers on the floor. One day while I was working in the afternoon a group of teenagers going to Brazil came to me asking me for different perfumes. Each person had their own questions and I was trying my hardest to help them all when I look at my other coworker applying makeup on her face and simply avoiding all of us. I was getting annoyed and probably going up the ladder with all these questions at the same time, moreover, just by looking at my other coworkers not helping me was getting me impatience. I knew it wasn’t the customers fault, so I did not put it against them, but you could’ve seen it in my face. I was losing my patience and I needed to go

It wasn’t until the end of the day that Susan pulled me aside and gave me some good advice. In her words, “People in the store are going to drive you mad. They are the pickiest, finickiest folks I’ve ever seen. But if you keep a smile on your face, keep calm and do a good job, you’ll survive the day, and we’ll get along just fine.” Even though it wasn’t exactly the greatest advice ever, it was what helped me keep my sanity the whole season I was there. I made some good friends, good money and I realized that working isn’t as easy as it seems. But all in all, it was a good job, and a good

I would like to be considered for the position of Grocery Store Clerk. I learned about this opportunity through your advertisement on snagajob.com. I am currently still attending high school at Whitney High School, I believe I have the potential to do very well for your Safeway.

The whole time I was blaming my mother for making all these decisions to have me get a job and I end up taking the job that had to do the most with talking to customers and socializing. You know how I said I was in panic mode earlier? At this point, I was really freaking out. I just wanted to run out of there and never go back but it was too late. As soon as I told the gentlemen from HR that I wanted the games associate position, he placed me outside on a table to wait for a manager to interview me.

My second year of retail I worked at a new store called A’gaci. This store was not very known it was the only one open in San Diego where they only sold women 's clothing. Now this job was the complete opposite of Hollister, but yet it was still retail. This was a more fast paced environment that expected more of us and their was older people working there other than teens. At first I thought it was weird because I was not used to working with older people being at the same rank as me, but I ignored it. A’gaci could not afford to pay their employees’ more since it was a new store, and the 6 months that they have been opened they never made budget since not many people knew about it, so they limited the number of employees’ they had.Working at this store you had to always be moving or doing something or else you would get in trouble. Since they did not have that many employees they always extended people on their shifts-- sometimes it was not even a question. I would get annoyed by this because I would make plans for after and they simply wouldn 't care they wouldn’t ask or even take you into consideration. At first I thought they only did it to me because I was the newest worker there, but as time passed by I noticed they did it to everyone. Some employees that worked there had children and had them in daycares and when the managers would do this, the employees couldn 't say anything and when they would try they would ask you to at least stay 30 more minutes to an hour and
