As a student who was JUST going back to school again, Home Depot was a good part-time job that greatly helped pay the bills. HR was always helpful when I had a scheduling conflict between school and work. The work environment was a positive one. I have only things to say about them.

I am a newbie and just started working for Home Depot a few months ago. They do seem to care about their employees more than other large retailers which is cool. There are always possibilities for advancement which I plan to go for in the future. So far my co-workers are the best people I ever worked with, like a second family. I am really happy with this job.

I remember when I was a car hop working at Sonic! I got so nervous carrying them out and reading back the order to the customers. You only were suppose to say some items to make it short and sweet. I had a tough time learning all the abbreviations on the menu, but after awhile I got it. Sometimes I talked WAYYYYYY too much, but I just tried to imagine what the customer would want to hear and see if it made sense. I tried to make sure people had a good experience. Lots of teens going on dates, families grabbing a quick meal, and friends just meeting up. I didn't mind it once I got past the nervous stage. It's a good job. The shakes are awesome too!!! I probably gained like 15 pounds drinking one a day. Totally WORTH IT!! #noregrets

I can never forget the kindest and sweetest woman I had ever met at a job. She would come in once a month on a Tuesday to Walmart get her medication at the pharmacy. She would come over to me with this big spread smile and take out her wallet and show me the same bent and faded photo of her son. She lost him in Iraq. We would talk for a while about her son, life, and then on her way out, she would somehow find me before she left and would buy me my favorite iced tea. It was that kindness that made me enjoy my job so much but even more restored my faith in people again.

I finally got a job at Dunkin Donuts!!!! I kept striking out over and over, but then I knew what I did wrong. I would apply online and not hear anything. The day I applied to DD my mom dropped me off and I went inside and asked for the manager. She was really busy so I waited. When she came out to see me I handed her my application. I thanked her for her time and told her why I am the right person for the job. I made sure to smile and have good eye contact like my dad said to. She sat down with me and interviewed me right there!!! A few days later I was hired :) Try going inside guys it got me my job and I am so happy!!

I work for Amazon as a picker. My job is to make sure the products get delivered accurately and quickly by getting orders ready for shipment. I literally "pick" them out. If you want this job you can NEVER be late. I work long hours and I am on my feet. It's not for everyone, but if I am not multitasking I will literally lose it. I NEED to be busy, NEED to run around, and NEED to work hard. They like us to be selective when it comes to ensuring the quality of orders. You know when your order arrives all in great condition? Yup, that was a picker that made that happen (well and packing too). You work hard for a reason and if you like to complain then time to look for work elsewhere. There are no room for complainers when work has to get done. Amazon pays me well. The days fly by. If I need a day off I ask. It's simple work, but also complex. I like it. I have told other people this but, you can look here on Jobcase for an Amazon job up at the top of the site by searching, or you can go right to Amazon's website https://www.amazon.jobs/

My first job was at Dollar General. This job taught me how to work a cash register and what it was like to work in a busy store. Our store was one of the only things around where I grew up so it was pretty happening. My manager Gina was amazing and so kind to me. One time I rang something in for $5,000 instead of $5, eeek!! The woman's face was not a happy one, haha. I thought for sure I was fired, but my manager just simply corrected the error and helped calm me down. I was a pretty nervous kid. Dollar General for me was a very supportive environment. Would probably be good for someone's first job if they like people.

I have been working at Macy's since 2011 and just recently have begun to manage my floor. I love all the customers I get to meet and help. I had one last week come to our shoe department who was looking for some wedding shoes for her big day. She also brought her 11 bridesmaids...ELEVEN! I had like 2 at my wedding, but I guess go big or go home. So they all needed matching shoes at the bride's request and she needed some different ones for herself. I took the time with one of my sales associates to find them all what they needed. It took almost two hours, but all the women left happy. The bride hugged me and said she would write a letter to corporate about her wonderful experience. It really made my day!!

One time at work this woman came rushing in and was frantically looking for diapers for her baby. I helped show her where the aisle was. She explained that her 11-year-old son had grabbed the wrong bag for her on their way out. She was rushing and the baby was screaming so she hadn't been paying attention. Their bag had no baby supplies and they were far away from home when the baby needed a change. I tried to make her laugh and cheer her up as the baby was getting fussy. I told her this can happen to any mom. As she goes to pay she realizes her wallet is also in the other bag as well and she starts to get upset. I took the diapers from her and went to my co-worker's register and had her ring me out along with some wipes and some candy for her son. She hugged me with tears in her eyes. I never felt so good before. The next week wouldn't you know it she came back to the store and told us she wouldn't shop anywhere else but Walgreens. She handed me a check for $100 to thank me for "saving the day." I was shocked! I told her I was just doin what anyone else would. She said no one else would have helped them the way I had.

I worked at FedEx for awhile until I ended up finding a job I wanted more. I was there for about 5 months, but it was a good experience. I liked the job. They really take care of their workers and provide great benefits after an amount of time. Getting the job wasn't too bad. I remember during my interview they asked me the same question every employer asks...can you tell us about yourself? But they also asked what can you tell us about FedEx? AND Why do you want to work for FedEx? I got the job and then had to go get a drug test done that week. For me it was easy and I started right away.
