I was a "Night Stocker" only on truck nights (3 per week), this store "Eastgate" is right next to the University and goes thru almost all of its stock each week, due to high demand.
PAY
- small & didn't change, per management there would be NO increases ever.. Funny how the store with the highest sales in town can have the worst pay & lowest staffing, with no increase in sight
- Numerous issues with getting paid and finding someone who understands how to do any of it live or online.
- Most recently (today), they were upset and terse with me on the phone for simply asking for a copy of my W2 or instructions on how to get it online.
WORK
- Very demanding (Not for the pot-head slacker that they usually hire)
- They did not understand time management or limitations based on simple factors like a truck being 4 hours late leading to late stocking
FACILITY
- Other than the 4-bulb fluorescent light fixture that was hanging from the ceiling by its wires after the ceiling got water logged, there are at least a dozen places with leaks throughout the store with buckets under them after rain or ice thaw
- The floor was redone during work hours throwing cement dust into the air and making so much noise you couldn't hear a cashier SCREAM how much your bill was.
- The bathrooms public & store employee only are always in completely unsanitary condition. Mostly since the store is a homeless-wino magnet, (No exaggeration here, meth heads shoot up in the bathroom, drunks pass-out in the entryway, just ask any employee)
Management
- All but the store manager are completely incompetent, condescending, rude and have one of 2 extremes, complete introverted social akwardness, or megalomania (lucky for the God complex ones, the "Trump nation" may allow them to excel)
SAFETY
- Again, the electrical and ceiling issues (controlled y the landlord), are an ever present problem
- Homeless and just regular thief types are always with you, especially fun at 3 AM
- Not only are the bathrooms unsanitary, but stock on the shelves may sit behind fresher stop in front for YEARS, and when a cooler/freezer breaks the remedy is questionable at best
- Lets not forget that your vehicle WILL be broken into and or hit by another vehicle (Sometimes the very delivery truck you will be un-stocking) because the lot is small, has steep inclines and little room for maneuvering
- If you are green and choose to ride a bike, it too will be stolen or vandalized if too difficult to steal by the meth heads
