Like a family! My favorite job!
Customer Service (Former Employee) - Cardiff, MD - November 28, 2019
I got a job here when I was 20 and worked as a cashier. Within 6 months I got promoted to customer service and working at Shoprite was by far my favorite job that I’ve ever had. Everyone was like family there and I looked forward to going to work everyday. I would say that I wasn’t a huge fan of the hiring process but it was manageable. I had my interview and got hired on the spot. I had to take a drug test the next day and passed. They have everyone take training courses and videos in Riverside for about a week. Riverside was at least 45 minutes away from me so I wasn’t too fond of having to drive that far everyday just for training. I wish that they did offer to do it at the store I was hired at because it would have made it easier. After the training courses I had to wait another week to be put on the schedule. In total, I think that the hiring process took around 3-4 weeks. I did like how easy it was to request off and that you were always given a break (either 15 or 30 minutes). The store I worked at did events and there were some days were allowed to dress up. My store even did a talent show with its employees and it was so much fun! They do an annual employee cook out and it was a great way to bring everyone together! I absolutely loved management and HR! They were always there if you needed someone to talk to. I had heard some complaints about management from some of the teenagers that worked there but that was because they were always calling out for their shift and were spoken to about it. I am glad that I was able to call Shoprite my second home for two years!
