Pros
Easy first job for people
Cons
The lead clerks and the managers never talked to each other so they would give us conflicting orders. One lead clerk would say that as long as the cart room was stocked we could do whatever we wanted, while others would write you up for simply checking the time on your phone. A perfect example is around May when it was starting to heat up and one of the lead clerks brought paperwork for me and my coworkers to sign, it stated on the paperwork and we were told by the lead Clerk that if it was over 80° outside, that our 10 minute breaks would go up to 15 minute breaks, then several months later I got fired for taking said 15 minute breaks while it was over 100° outside (I worked outside my entire shift) and they claimed I was stealing company time. The new manager who does the schedules is severely incompetent and doesn’t know what he’s doing there were several weeks in a row where the last day of the week was massively overstaffed by 2 to 3 times the amount of people we should’ve had for our department simply because he needed to give us a certain amount of hours but he didn’t. Even after I told him that I had type one diabetes, he tried writing me up/firing me for checking my insulin pump (something I can die from if not properly controlled). When I was hired, they told me I would be getting at least 20 hours a week, three months in and I was only getting between 12 and 16. Then after asking several times for more shifts it went down to eight. There were several times where they would call me at two in the morning on a day I had off due to classes to ask if I could come in. I had requested three days off surrounding my 21st birthday due to a planned trip I had with family members, then when the shift for that week came out, I was working all three days. I asked the manager (same incompetent one) why I wasn’t given those days off, he claimed I did not request those days off and that I must work them, even though I asked him in person nearly 3 months earlier for those days off.
