Challenging environment and low pay despite easy work. Its retail. - Recensione dipendente - Front End Cashier presso Lowe's Home Improvement

I was paid $1 above minimum wage in my state. Schedule was all over the place even as a part timer. I'd work eight days in a row mostly four hour shifts sometimes closing one day and opening the next day at 6AM. Then have no hours for three to four days in a row. Middle management in my store is very poor. Out of all the leads and ASMs(25ish), I'd say only a handful were competent. It's a job in a retail environment so you work with some nice people but also a lot of bitter retail lifers. Customers will always stink in any low end retail environment and this was no different. I was assaulted by a customer, but as it was my last day of my two weeks notice, only one ASM took it seriously and there was no follow up even though I filed a police report. PT benefits are a joke. They do not even cover once a year blood tests or x-rays. No ER or emergency coverage at all. Part of the reason I took this "not so great" retail job was for the benefits. So if thats why you need this job, I'd look somewhere else.
