I would not recommend it as a long term job.There is a generally a pretty fast turnover rate.

No benefits other then free soda

Didnt enjoy being the only one to clean or stock a area

Best place i've ever worked, co worker were good, customers were layed back, always busy never a dull time. stocked plates, bowls, did dishes, took orders, brought out the food, handled money transactions.

a normal day at the kangaroo, i worked all three shifts, mostly second shift i would run cash regester stock the beer coolers and drink coolers clean, sweep and mop and put inventory up.

My grandchildren where going through a hard time and I was working PT. I told the manager that Social Services was going to take the kids away from there mother and that I couldn't work nights and weekends for a while until things were straightened out. This was on a Monday or Tuesday. A co worker had just retired and I asked for some of her daytime – more... hours and was told NO. I asked to just be a coffee hostess in the early AM hours and was told NO. When the new schedule came out at the end of the week, The manager had me down for Thurs. thru Sunday 3 to 11pm. So I had to quit for my grandchildren to be able to be placed in my home instead of fostercare! – less

I completed sales transactions. I liked working with the public.

I was extremely comfortable working at The Pantry. The workers were friendly and I felt very welcome. The training was thorough and I learnt a lot about working in a business enviornment. Everyone shared jobs like cleaning and food preparation and hygeine was well kept. All workers worked together so that the efficiency of the company was always 100%. – more... it is definetly somewhere I would have stayed on to work but the location was a problem as I was unable to provide transportation to that area. – less

A typical day at work began at 3 a.m and ended around 2 p.m. I'd open the store, balance the paper work from the day before, make the deposit and then open the store for buisness. I learned to deal politey with customers, manage my time between them and daily assignments. I rarely saw my co-workers outside meetings and shift changes. The most enjoyable – more... part of my job was my customers. Knowing who and what they wanted, getting them in and out in a timely manner. It was like a personal contest. By six months i knew almost every customers by name and could guess at least half of what they had intended to purchase that day. – less

Cashier, stock, keep store neat and clean. Team environment.

This were my first manager job and I enjoy working for the pantry. There were some challenge but I oversea everything. I turn a store around and made it to be a successful store. My skill and hard work pay off. My supervisor was a outstanding person. She aloud me to make changes to the store if need but as long as it was with the company guidelines.

The one thing I loved most working at the pantry was getting to know my customers on a everyday basis. Working for the pantry has taught me patience, motivation, and self emprovement. I enjoyed learning new things within the cmpany and discovering new ideas on how to take our store and company to greater heights. Training my employees on an effective – more... sales operation was also a plus. The most complicated part of my job was dealing with lazy employees. I believe it takes a team and everyone in it to achieve goals, and when someone doesn't put the intiiative in that you know they are capable of, it get's pretty frustrating. – less

I worked very hard,but at the end of the day you could say, hey this is what we accomplished today , and be proud of what you and everyone that worked that day did. which is called team work?

the pantry tries to keep friendly, fast,curtious service, and most of the time accomplishes thier goal.
most of management is exceptional and works with you in – more... whatever you dont understand.

the most enjoyable part of my job was the customers, who in all realitity, are the ones who keep your job open.

team work is what co-workers should do togather,that makes everyones work load much easier. – less

This was my favorite job that I ever had! I work there for quite a few years and loved it. I went from 3rd shift to assistant manager and learned quite a few skills.

As a manager, I trained employees and oversaw the general retail operation.
