Pros

The customers are friendly and helped my day get better

Cons

Food prep gloves were used for cleaning restrooms, instead of hospital gloves. No goggles worn when dumping glass. Bottling area and back stocking area is unclean, grimy and full of odor. Expectations were unrealistic and I got in trouble for not being up front getting carts (only 5 or 6 carts up front) when I had to fulfill my duties to tidy up the bathroom and mop the floors but was told by trainer that I was getting carried away and they told another associate. Mind you, this trainer wore soiled gloves while getting coffee and a separate time of eating while on the clock while they were supposed to be following me and training me more efficiently. I made it one day. Also the other quality clerk informed me that they've never cleaned the restroom and both associates were unclear what you used to clean the toilet with! What a let down.. Also the pay is very low and very low hours. This job did not meet my expectations whatsoever

Pros

If you enjoy a job that keeps you active and on your feet at all times, working as a courtesy clerk here will ensure you stay busy. Plenty of space to chat while working, especially with very mundane and redundant work duties that may require a second worker. Doesn't take a lot of focus and definitely is good for someone with ADHD or someone who can appreciate organization.

Cons

Supervisors can often feel urged to have an ego, treating you as less – viewed as a pawn to do what they ask, doesn't care about your opinion on store operation, would rather think they're perfect than take criticism, will talk one-on-one to you with a pseudo-sympathetic demeanor if you're struggling to keep you around. If you're in the small percentile of people that try really hard to improve, you're ten times more likely to get taken advantage of and seen more and more as a working entity. Also, if you're looking for better pay over time, do NOT be a courtesy clerk, your pay will be consistent regardless of how long you work.
