A typical work day is highly dependent on the time of day that you work. It goes through baking in the morning, packaging in the afternoon and breaking out dough for the next day. It was a great place to learn the best way to prioritize and time management, but it is hard during the times when there are orders coming in or during the holidays. The socializing – more... with co-workers during work is a great upside to work, although the job is demanding. – less

Typical day at work required me being on time and staying foucsed on my daily duties.What I have learned from this job is time management and sorting out duties. Management was great, expectation from employees were met therefore did not have to hassel us, The hardest part about this job was when more than 1 team member was unable to make it to the – more... therefore fast paced work was required and good time management skills.The most enjoyable part of this job was to have worked with an honored team members, – less

I loved dealing with customers and serving food was an enjoyable and easy task for me. i enjoyed cleaning the kitchen after i shut down and organize everything. When it came to customer service I like helping people and when a customer came to me with a question i would do what i can to make sure they were happy.

I satiesfied very much with metro and i was able to worked freely in that.

Processing Sales.
Interacting with customers to ensure all customer service needs are met.
Assisting with other associates and management teams when required.
Cash counting to ensure accuracy of floats.

I enjoy working at metro. Short shifts,happy customers. Only thing I didn't like was the salary.

Met alot of great people, learned new things. Enjoyable part of the job was meeting new people and working with amazing people.

I really enjoy my co workers and my job for the most part.The only thing is affordability.Not guarrantied any amount of hours to live on.

This job will help you learn how to multi-task while constantly strengthening your customer relationships. Sometimes the hours can be long and the work can be draining, but overall it is fast paced.

minimum salery.. pay big dollars for a collectif assurance whit no benefit... and to many boss ,not organis.. always spending time to traine new staff .. but did love to greeted the customers ...

Begin the day by getting the coffee on and saying good morning to my staff, i would then do loss control of off code products. Then i would go out and see what all had to be filled in my counters and begin to fill them, once filled i would go to the freeezer and get all the products i would need for the day and next. At 11:00 am i would make pizza's – more... for the counter and get the hot sandwich counter up and running. Dealing with cash while doing every thing else was a good way to learn how to multi task. Next around 2pm the order would come in aand i would head to recieving to get it, take it apart and put it away.All this time you would have to stop and deal with customers questions and taking pizza orders answering the department phone and deal with the store manager if he had ant questions. Take a quick lunch and back to start preping for your weekly department specials, Fresh to go had 2 pizza's every wednesday night and wings every thursday. Before leaving i would leave notes for the night staff so they knew what had to be done eg. ribs, roast, chickens etc. Greet night staff go over every thing to make sure it is clear and head home. – less

the job is great but my bosses are condacending and rude. I still excel at the job and treat them with respect. A typical day is Im running around handing out papers. I deal with a tonne of rejection but for the most part people are cooperative and I lead in sales for that reason. The hardest part of the job is my bosses are extremely negative and the – more... most enjoyable part is the freedom I have since I usually work alone. – less

Metro offers a productive but fun work environment. Suitable for the average student in high school and/ or college. Very flexible work hours and positive staff members.

i loved working at metro the staff were great and the customers were loyal. it was overall a great experience.

On a typical day I'd sit at my desk and, using ArcGIS, carry out operations on maps of the sub-region. These maps had, amongst other things, information on the bus services that served the area, and on the distribution of the population in the area. I'd also been given, separately, information on the government subsidies received - where applicable – more... - by the operators of the said bus services. The overall aim of the ongoing exercise was to estimate the impacts that adjustments to the subsidies would have on the levels of service provided to the populace.

I learnt many complex operations in ArcGIS and, more importantly, I learnt how best to represent (the solution of) an organisational problem as a sequence of operations in ArcGIS.

Management and my co-workers were wonderful, very warm and most helpful. I'll never forget the warmth of the atmosphere.

The hardest part of the job was deciding exactly what figures management wanted to see, and how best to present them graphically, in order to help them decide where funding levels could be adjusted with minimal impact. The easiest part of the job was writing my report into a PowerPoint presentation. – less

Despite the union's under appreciation of the part time workers within the company, I find the position challenging and enjoyable. I like the people I work with, and I will take the skills I have learned with me forever.

by Metro I refer to the Grocery Store Chain, not the Newspaper or bus company.
