Jobs

Hey audience. :)

As many of you probably don’t know, I am currently an employee at Hyvee. I work about 4 times a week on average. I wouldn't exactly say that my current job is the 'dream' job that I have always wanted or anything like that, but right now, I don’t have any other way of income, so I take what I can get. Another factor that you have to think about when getting a typical job is what the job is inside AND out, which is one mistake I made. When you look at my job, a courtesy worker or bagger, you think all you would have to do is bag peoples' groceries and maybe get a few carts. That's not what its like at all. Some of the 'extra' things you have to do are: take out all of the trashes in the store and by the registers, clean the bathrooms (women’s', men’s', and the family room, no matter your gender), constantly go out and get carts, clean up spills made by shoppers or even employees, and other dirty, low jobs like that. On top of that the breaks are really short. Most of the time, my break is fifteen minutes. Another thing you have to watch out for when getting a job is the managers or bosses you will be having. You don't want a boss that's going to get on you for every little thing that you do wrong, or else you won't enjoy yourself at work. I like the bosses that are very easy going and don't expect you to do every little thing. I also enjoy jobs that don't require specific attire. I can deal with looking nice and professional, but not when you have to wear the same thing over and over again everyday you go to work like Hyvee requires. To work at Hyvee, you must come into work wearing a white button-up shirt with a collar, long black or brown pants, tie or broach, white or black shoes, and your name tag. That attire is way too much for me, and I dread wearing it. Is this normal for me to think that my job is a waste of my time? Does anyone else think that? What are the pros and cons of your job?
