At Big Y, I am a florist. I enjoy my job but wish the management was different. I also feel as if I'm not paid enough for the level of work I preform. I run an entire floral department for minimum wage. I am constantly struggling to battle my work life with my school life just to make ends meet. I do enjoy working with plants and flowers, though.
I work for big y though they're trying to do their best for employees schools have again a delayed opening to May 20 & to continue "thank you pay" to May 2nd not May 20 doesn't help employees who MUST pay for child care in order to attend their shifts. Also, normally 90% of Big Y customers are polite but over the last 3 weeks I've experienced so much nastiness from customers & we are not allowed to voice our opinion or stand up for ourselves when a customer is abhorrently rude. a woman physically grabbed my arm over $0.20 DECREASE in price on bacon. She received the LESSOR price wth
Big Y is a fantastic job for teenagers/young adults with busy schedules. You can submit a form giving your current availability (can be a couple 4 hour shifts a week) and they will give you the hours. Easy to learn jobs and unbelievably friendly management. For anyone looking for a more serious occupation, this is not it. Due to the high employee turnover, almost all employees are part time, and there is little in terms of benefits. Pay increases by maybe 25 cents/year and there is little room for upward mobility within the company.
