So close, but so far from being a good job - Cashier George Mason University Employee Review

Pros

I would say the job overall is easy. Stocking, taking cash register orders, assisting customers, and cleaning everything gets relatively easier over time. You get free food, from Burger King, Taco Bell, and Sub Connection, although the amount of food is obviously not enough to fill you up. The people I've worked with were very nice, and the environment was perfect for any college student hoping to make some quick cash. You can get a parking pass for ten dollars every week taken out of your paycheck, which would help pay for the EXPENSIVE AS IS parking that GMU issues on a daily basis.

Cons

The management hires many people who can't speak English, or do their job as well as most people who had their hours reduced could. The hours are hardly ever divided fairly. People who would call out would get it rejected, especially when it comes to exam week if the store is understaffed.The company policies are also kind of screwed up. The company Sodexo, pretty much controls an entire monopoly. So its no surprise that most of the students who go to GMU, are going to be ripped off inside campus. Its hard to move up in management, especially since they have a strict policy on punctuality, and yet people with no customer service experience get hired as Supervisors. Just because they needed the money to pay off their college 'debt.' Sodexo doesn't really care about your well being, and only care about making money and profiting off of you. But what company nowadays doesn't do that?
