Housekeeper (Former Employee), Casa Grande, AZ – May 26, 2012
Pros: free dinner for two, gift certificate from wal-mart
Cons: limiting breaks, write ups
My typical day at work was always knowing what to do when you first get to your job. also hoping that nothing went wrong for the night before because it would take you a little longer to correct a problem not knowing when, where, and why. I've learned from my experience to ask questions in how the business ran so that there wouldn't be any suprise. – more... Mangement was a little more stressful due to more responsibilities. Like when some of your co-workers wouldn'y show up and trying to look for other employees to work that schedule or it would be the manager to work it and have an asst. cover your shift. The hardest part of my job was being very strict with your employees due to some like to slack off but i would let them know that when the job was not done it would become a write-up or even suspension. The most enjoyable part of my job is every month one of my employees would earn the employee of the month and it made my job lot easier. – less
