Do you enjoy your job?

[StrainedEyes]

Don't know if there's a thread already for this or not, don't care since it's too early to care anyway.

Well, I start off. I like my job pushing carts at Wal-mart part-time. Decent enough hours, decent pay, times goes bye, free water, 10% off discount card.

Don't like it though when it is busy in the parking lot, or when we are short handed on cart pushers (and right now, we are).

All you do is push carts? When I worked at Petsmart, I stocked the shelves, worked the register, got carts and took out trash, every night. Not to mention helping idiot customers and picking up slack in the fish department.

Getting carts was almost like a break for me.

I used to work at stop & shop back in 94/95..getting shopping carts was great cause I could listen to my walkman cassette player and not deal with customers saying they want paper and plastic.

 

[black_dust]

This is the press what I work on,but not as clean as this...lol.

Holy hell thats huge, some the newspaper industry would use

I only run a speedmaster 52 (which is like just over A3 max) We run all kinds of **** tho

 

[Ice-man]

Im sure if i had a job id enjoy it, well on the other hand theres a chance i wouldn't.

 

[enterthemadness]

Well thinking like that isn't going to land you a screenwriting job now is it?

Less stressful than screenwriting. Screenwriting can be fun, but it can be hard at times. Coming up with good idea's, good dialouge, try hard to get it right.

All I do is push carts...and do carry outs.

My current job sucks, I've had some kick ass ones though.

 

[ang_hulk]

[SuperFerret]

I love my job.

 

[StrainedEyes]

I bet the pay is awful. Walmart isn't the most generous company.

 

[terry78]

It's basically placing orders and suggesting to companies what IT stuff to buy. Interesting and all, but you only make real money if they buy a lot of ****, which they don't always do.

My job bites. I won't say the name of the company I work for, but let's just say it's an electronics retail chain. Despite making hundreds of thousands of dollars in pure profit per day per store, the company remains incredibly cheap. There's no money put into marketing, so we've been airing the same damn commercial on TV since the 90's, despite the ad having 3D graphics worse than a 1st-season episode of ReBoot. The benefits are horrible. They even refuse to spend money on those alarm things by the door that are supposed to go off when unpaid merchandise passes through. It's still privately owned, which means there are no stock options--something even Wal-Mart offers.

Also, the management structure suck. According to our policy, if a customer asks for a discount for whatever reason (including for the sake of just asking), salespersons are required to take the request to a supervisor rather than say no. But policy also says a supervisor has to take the request to a manager rather than say no. The managers give you a dirty look when you do this, and says no to the customer, anyway.

And god forbid a customer ask to speak to a manager for any reason. Now I have to track the manager down, who clearly doesn't want to deal with it. The manager tells me what to say to the customer, I go back to the customer, and they tell me they want to actually see the manager. The customer refuses to walk to the manager, the manager refuses to walk to the customer, and suddenly it's all my fault when the customer walks away angry.

By the way, shopping fans, if you ever find yourself in the section of an electronics store where they sell the DVD movies, don't ask the nearest salesperson about a printer, and walk away complaining about how nobody at the store knows anything. You just asked the guy putting My Best Friend's Wedding on the shelf which type of cable goes to your Epson. Maybe (just maybe) you should ask the guy standing near the printers.


Um... no. No, I don't like my job.

^So in layman's terms, you are not too fond of that corporation.

 

[Prison Mike]

Pre-med?

When I was working (I quit recently) it was a love-hate relationship with my job. Loved the work most of the time, loved most of the people I worked with (most of the times), just couldn't stand the BS-ness that came with working at a crap hospital.

yeah I'm pre-med with a minor in business and psychology. This is supposed to be my senior year, but I'm afraid I'm going to have to stay an extra semester in order to finish my minors. It's not like I'm in any rush to get out of college, though. Once I'm done with undergrad, I have to go through 4 more years of school (med school).

I work as a delivery driver for UPS. It isn't the best job in the world, but it pays well, I have great benefits(which is worth more than salary when you get a family) and I'll have this wonderful thing called a pension. When I reach 55 I can stop working and start collecting around $6500 a month. A lot of people I know will continue to work until Social Security age kicks in and probably beyond.

 

[Lord Valumart]

my old job was ok....but then they moved me and it got a whole lot better and i loved it...then i had to leave...

my current job is ok...but it's not as good as it used to be...and i've only been there just over a month

^So in layman's terms, you are not too fond of that corporation.

I suppose you could say that.

 

[POWdER-man]

I own the place I work at....but sadly I probably work harder then any MOFO out there............I need a vacation.....I enjoy it.....but I want it to be less stressfull....

 

[enterthemadness]

I bet the pay is awful. Walmart isn't the most generous company.

7.65 during the summer, but now it's 6.65. In Oct I should get a pay raise that will take me back up to 7.05, maybe even as high as 7.25 an hour. My last job was cooking fries at Andys'...bad hours...and only 6.15. ****, last two days I got an hour each...when we needed all the help we could get. Idiot by the book manager at Andy's. Quit that job 3 weeks after he was manager, lasted just over 9 weeks there.

Been pushing carts at Wal-Mart since June 30th btw.
