        Pros

        Coworkers always tend to be good people in a similar situation as you, and the good customers are always a highlight of the shift.

        Cons

        Management repeatedly fails to follow the availability you provide (even if it was from the very beginning, when you took the job) and puts the responsibility for handling it on you.

                Business Outlook

                Pros

                Flexible schedule, managers work with you if you show them that you are reliable, i.e. come to work on time when you are scheduled. The deli is a smaller department with approximately 20 people, overall most of us work as a team. Each person has primary tasks and has some freedom to do other things that need to be done. Not a fun environment but overall good working environment.

                Cons

                Small department so personalities will clash sometimes. Often not enough people on a shift due to sick calls or “no-shows”. It’s a union shop so getting a full time position is difficult and goes by seniority.

                      Request days off Works around your schedule if you're in school or have another job Coworkers are decent Time and a half (if your lucky to be under the old contract) Union

                      Cons

                      Management doesn't communicate effectively Time and a half for newer employees isn't given til after your third year working. They don't offer full time.employment often. They cut hours all the time, then complain and call you in on your days off They underpay and overwork consistently Customers can be downright rude Supervisors don't help often. You have to pay an invitation fee to get into the union dues ( you pay 250- you get 50 refunded after you go to an annual meeting for the first time, which is never conveniently anywhere near you, especially if you depend on public transportation. )

                      Graduate Student

                      Hi! Looking for some advice regarding hiring processes. I completed 2 interviews with the company and they emailed to say they "want to put me forward for the job" and asked for references, passport, and for me to do a background check. I didn't hear anything for a week, so then emailed to check on my application status. They responded saying they would get back at the end of that week. Its been 2 weeks since. I emailed last week to ask for an update and have not received a response. Thoughts?

                      Got booted from my former position about 4 years ago, which I LOVED. I have the impression I was "kept" in sympathy. Now that I have my feet beneath me, I feel like I'm running in place. Over the past 2 years, I've probably applied for about 100 positions in other departments. True, a few were unlikely moonshots, but for the most part I didn't misrepresent myself. Am I the world's worst interviewer? Otherwise.. shouldn't I have been accepted elsewhere, by choice?

                      Administrative Assistant

                      I haven't worked since Jan. 2020 when my job as administrative assistant for the Hospitalist group was eliminated. I can't begin to count the number of applications submitted, interviews I've had, jobs that I was told were mine then they weren't, etc. Several jobs have fallen through or not panned out. I am not a job hopper and want to stay where I go. I have a zoom interview tomorrow for a front desk receptionist position at an oral surgeon's office. Any interview tips are appreciated.
