oh I see, I hear they get paid pretty well. Hope I can get promoted to something from cashiering, some time down the road. How do they promote, do they just say hey you are doing a really good job, do you want to be a ..... or do you have to fill out an application.

I was paid ok for the time. I was earning 42K a year, but it averaged out to $3/hour sometimes. You are salaried and expected to work a lot. Usually 60-80 hours a week. It is always something, some holiday, or inventory, or a manager visit.

I was mentored by my Manager, and he told the District Manager how good I was, then they did an interview and promoted me. I had to do a training program, I even got to go to Bentonville to the Home Office, but they don't do that anymore.

Photo Lab Associate, a position that doesn't even exist in most stores anymore.


It is really hard to get promoted from Cashier, because you have no opportunity to learn other skills or help other depts.

that sucks, that is why I think I would rather stick with being hourly. But I will be working 60 hours a week between my two jobs. Should be interesting.

well that sucks, but I do know two people who did get promoted, so there's that. I would rather be on the sales floor but I don't know if the pay is the same or not. Oh well it is what it is. It won't last forever, unless I really like it, and want to stay there forever and forever. LOL

Yep, but I learned a lot from the experience.

Try and get into the TLE, Tire and Lube Express or Electronics, if you see any openings in those. They have the highest pay range.

Yeah. The only customer facing I've done is a summer at a restaurant (the minimum everyone should do) and a year supervising the front desk of a library, which isn't really the same.
