Serious problems - Service Clerk Champlain Farms Employee Review

weekly pay, easy work, decent hours

bad management, poor pay/ benefits, unorganized, high standards with low pay/ no incentives

You get to work on your own most of the time- District Manager comes around once a month or if needed.

As a manager you are in charge of EVERYTHING. You run the store as if you own it and get paid very little for literally giving your life to the company. It’s a family owned chain and the owners and other higher up’s are pleasant and I genuinely like them. However, from a business standpoint the company treats the managers like dirt. You do not get breaks..not a lunch break.. not two 15 minutes. Nothing. There is little praise and a general lack of understanding (or care) of the amount of work managers actually do. Position is salary and 45 hours is the min hours required. Getting a day off is like moving heaven and earth. Being sick is not possible. Emergencies - possibly they will work with you but you still have to make up any hours missed. I don’t recommend this job if you have small children or even a family. Here’s an example... You work a 9 hour shift (6am-3pm) and your second shift cashier calls out sick (cashiers can do this all the time) ....You are now staying to cover their shift (3pm-9pm) and still opening the store the next day. Hours are supposed to be Mon-Fri 6am-3pm and Sat and Sun off. In sum: It’s an enormous amount of work, low pay, and they expect your job to be your entire life.
