Pros

Helping felt great! Liked my coworkers.

Cons

I told them from the get go that I had never worked retail before. They gave me about four days training in bagging and then I was on my own. They trained me to clean things and then they assigned cleaning to someone else. I was trained to do continual rounds but they didn't have me do that either most of the time. While I was bagging a senior member of staff gave me an assignment. She didn't seem to notice the shocked look in the customer's eyes. It was just an order and I was to follow through. No questions...just like my schedule and my assignments. After I complained about this, my days were cut from five to three. Then I was left with the one job I had left. Standing for five hours at the sanitation department. While I was standing there, the carts started piling up both on the inside and the outside of the store so I moved them to the other side. This caused me to get reprimanded and told to leave them there. I was also no longer allowed to hand out face masks even though it is now mandatory. Purchase only. I didn't have anyone to turn to so I quit.
