communication between managers and workers not good
Cashier/Stocker (Former Employee), Cleveland, OH – June 14, 2013
Pros: maybe a free turkey or ham for the holidays
Cons: communication
communication and the way they talk to employees on the floor not good. the communication between managers and scheduler not good either.

i would arrive early so as to make the coffee. I would then check out the store, walk in refrigerator and freezer. check pallots. Get what i needed out to the floor to start stocking shelves.

if cashiering I would – more... check on register tape, bags for groceries and check my till drawer.

I enjoyed seeing returning customers. – less

Hard working individuals
Night Supervisor (Former Employee), Garfield Heights, OH – April 29, 2013
Pros: the people i worked with, being promoted to night stock supervisor
Cons: the pay was terrible and so was the management there
Overall at marc's I enjoyed working there. I was able to advance to a night stock supervisor after being there for only a little over a year. I loved who I worked with and being put in charge. Management at marcs wasnt the best. They always had someone new coming in and it got too confusing.

very enjoyable work place
Cashier Supervisor (Former Employee), Parma, OH – April 24, 2013
Start time 6:30 am prepared the store for opening, learned about different products that marc's carried also how to handle WIC and food stamps. My co-workers were all very welcoming and helpful. The hardest part of the job was getting used to the fast paced atmosphere. But it turned out to be the most enjoyable part because it made the day go by fairly – more... quickly. – less

Went from Hourly worker to Manager
Assistant Manager (Former Employee), Cleveland, Ohio – April 2, 2013
Pros: co-workers
Cons: not enough help, little pay, always on fit, not enough breaks
I started working at Marc's as an hourly associate and when I left I was a manager.
As an Hourly associate the hours are not there so unless your only looking for a part time job or in school do not look here. The MOST hours you can get is 28 hours a week. You start at minimum wage. IF your lucky you can start at full time but thats a very slim prospect – more... because Marc's does like to promote within and there is also someone there whose been there longer that would get full time over someone who's just started.
There are NO benefits as an hourly part time associate. The flexibility is nice though as part time. And sometimes if they have to cut hours they will either send you home or call you and tell you not to come in.
If Full time you can get medical but its not a very good plan. The only people that get a good medical/dental plan are the managers and those are very good plans.
As a manager i would SERIOUSLY suggest you not look at Marc's. If you want to get some manager experience under your belt and don't need a lot of experience then this would be a good place to start. If your placed at a good store then you will get decent management training as they do train for a little over a month before placing you at a store. But it depends on what store your placed at and who the managers are there. If they place you at Strongsville, BEG to go somewhere else as your only going to be set up for failure.
Being a manager has its ups and downs. Mostly downs. Your salaried and every day if you get to leave when your shift is over its a good day. 95% of the time your left to work at least an hour or more over your shift and you don't get paid for it.
Everyday you have to add up your hours and budget and have to cut hours and are almost always under staffed. And sometimes they will email you and changed your budget goals and hour goals for the week and some days your left having to cut 30 hours..
And most of the managers that have been there since the 80's and 90's need to be fired or retire. Since they've been there so long they know all the higher ups and are VERY lazy and rude. This company is very big on WHO you know instead of WHAT you know.
If you are thinking of being a manger here let it be just so you can get some experience then leave. The pay isn't enough for all the drama and issues that come along with being a manager there. – less

Fun place to work
Stocker/Cashier (Former Employee), Austintown, OH – February 2, 2013
Pros: workload, discount, advancement
Cons: high-school like drama, hectic during holidays
Loved it most days, disliked it rarely. On the days of dislike, it was the ignorance of a coworker that was annoying. If you do your job right, you can advance in this company, as well as learn a lot from the management. Holidays were always hectic, but still enjoyable. I worked just about every job possible - cashier, stock, closeouts, 3rd shift. Would – more... work there again in a heartbeat. – less

Never again with this company!
Customer Service (Former Employee), ????? – January 15, 2013
Pros: the co-workers, that's it.
Cons: everything
I've worked at this company for 3 and a half years and have nothing to show for it. I started off as a cashier and a year later (after begging management to promote me), I was moved to Customer Service, which I enjoyed. I did get a pay raise, but not much of one. When I started working there, I made $7.40 an hour. When I left, I was making $8.10 an – more... hour. That should give you an idea of how much this place sucked. When I transferred to another store, they demoted me, kept yelling at me, and reduced my hours for no reason. This place does show favoritism. A girl who was working there 2 months got promoted to supervisor! That's ridiculous! Stay far, far away from this place. – less

Working with great people even when work gets hard.
Cashier (Former Employee), Euclid, OH – December 17, 2012
Pros: the hours and great people i worked with.
Cons: the dirty break room and restooms
A typical day at work was just ringing customers out and at the end of the night face the entire store. I learned how to have more patience with people which is a great thing. The managent was ok, but it was very unorganized. My co-workers were great and we became not only a team but also friends. It made work a lot better some days. I would say that – more... the hardest part of the job was dealing with the food stamps at the beginning of the month and the most enjoyable part was seing my customers smile. – less
