Great first job for teenagers, but managers are very aggressiveThe good thingsReally good job for a young person. Relatively easy to learn, and flexibility with shifts around school hours. Lots of different jobs within the store to keep you learning and trying new things. Even though management is ridiculous, coworkers make it really fun. Overall, a great first job.
The challengesManagers have a power trip bossing their teenage employees around. Like, what do you mean you're 50 and yelling at me because I made a mistake with my availability? I think it's because they're older and stuck in a dead-end job, but they could learn some basic manners. It's not that deep.
If you want to learn a new job in the store, it can take months to years of asking management. I was doing the same role in the store for just over a year without learning anything new, and it took a manager calling me the b-word and threatening to fire me over a small mistake to get out of that role. She never had to apologise for that either.
