Work life for smiths
Lead CSM have the best schedule because they make their own schedule. Which sets a tone for other managers being fed up. Which creates more of a false hope for regular employees and work environment unfriendly and more stressful. Plus power to lead csm means he can say and do because he has the power above all and if anything comes about you get written up for unnecessary stuff. Just by sticking up for myself
Not a bad job
I’ve worked there for over a year as a courtesy clerk is not hard it’s just the weather time it was too hot you need to stay hydrated and if it’s too cold keep a heads up on the clothes you need to have a speed to bring in carts from the parking lot
good environment and workers, decent management
The fellow employees were good people, some got away with more things than others because they were more friendly towards management. The managers were mostly cool except for one that made the job a lot harder than it should've been
Pros
Good people work there
Cons
short breaks, hustles workers too much
Would you rate your company five stars?
Rate your employer to help people make better career decisions.
a typical cashier job
employees are paid by time spent with the company not performance so wages start low. some managers are more friendly than others and each have their own rules they expect you to follow. day managers want friendly faces and speed but night managers are more flexible and fun.
beer theft was common and rampant but managers would give you verbal and eventually written warnings if you even yelled at the thief. you could get in trouble for not reporting larger thefts though.
I was underpaid and cared to much about the thefts so I left.

Jobs at Smith's Food and Drug
An ok job
Work was simple but nice. I helped attend to customers and clean every hour. Occassionally I would get free time to myself which is nice. The real highlight for me was helping the customers and knowing that my manager had my back. The training was kinda ruff and a bit rushed. I felt like I didn't even know most of our products before I was left on my own.
Flexible working hours. Demanding physically. Reliable pay.
All jobs require several hours on foot. Bakery job involves lifting boxes, carrying metal trays, and reaching high and low shelves.
There is always something to do. The pay is consistent and fair for the work completed. However, it can feel like the company cares little about their entry level employees. Supply orders have frequently gone unmet, product changes have been made, and responsibilities have been adjusted before with little to no communication. This can cause the environment to become frustrating to work in

Good joh
Wish they had better management and need to spend time teaching new employees. They get thrown out and expected to know things without guidance. Starting wage to.low for expected knowledge. Need a huddle dailey before starting to know new practices and policy. You need to know anything new or selling limits.
They were great and gave me many chances and they were super patient with me.
I loved working for this company. If you do work here and live close to the orem Smith's I suggest working there the management is super amazing and forgiving and kind. Don't take advantage of them like I did though. The hardest part of the job in my opinion is doing carts.
Smith's only cares about making money for themselves.
Working for Smith's is a thankless job. The attitude there is you can be replaced at any time. To them, you are just a number and not a person. They expect you to be fast on the register and even rate how many items per minute you ring up. It is all about making money for them, yet the cashiers only make $14 an hour, and that is if they have been there a long time.
Management
My manager was always doing his best to show and help his team improve their work and time management. Management would never let you fall behind and when improvements were visible, they would make sure you are known that they appreciate all of your hard work.
