Summer Jobs/Interning

Re: Summer Jobs/Interning

Retail is retail.

It'll be my first job, I can't exactly be picky. =P

All things considered it shouldn't be that bad.

Retail isn't bad at all, unless you count the holiday season. I was a temp for Aeropostale during the last holiday season and it was hell on black Friday weekend. Food is the one place I can not stand to be in though (thank you Wendy's).

Thankfully if I do get the job I probably won't stick around long enough to see the holidays. rofl.

At my job, the only day in the entire year that you get off is Christmas Day.

Aeropostale is nothing like department stores around the holidays.

Try having to get to work at 4:30 to open at 5:30 and being unable to find a parking space because already there are 60 old people banging on the door wondering why you would have the nerve to not be open an hour early.

I have never hated myself more than I did the day after Thanksgiving.

Then I found Andy's dad wandering around the pants section at like 6:00 am and laughed at him for being out so godawful early.

Re: Summer Jobs/Interning

Well glad to say I have never come across something that bad. I know someday I might, but for now I'm counting my lucky stars.

Retail will make you:

1) Become racist and extremely judgmental
2) Hate humanity
3) Tired

Re: Summer Jobs/Interning

I still work at McDonalds, all year round. Mom didn't really give me an option about getting a job or good grades...it was both >_> and mcdonalds was the first place that hired me.

It's not too bad because I can mold my schedule as I see fit. I guess right now I'm working 20-30h a week, but trying to get to 30+.

I work at Rumbi Island Grill. http://www.rumbi.com I've been working ther since mid march. Its a new restaurant and is expanding really fast. I just became a shift lead a couple weeks ago. I work about 35-40hrs a week. I make like 11.25 an hour lol. But I'm having a lot of fun working there, my boss is auwesome! The food is really good and a lot of very attractive girls work there, so I can't complaine about that.

Re: Summer Jobs/Interning

The department store I worked at wasn't terrible -- pay was good, and I worked in the men's department, and 99.5% of the time men are MUCH easier to deal with than women. I've thought about going back next year because the hours at my work-study job aren't really working with my internship/class schedule, and if I'm only going to be able to pull 15 hours a week, I might as well get paid $8.00/hr + credit card commissions, but my manager got fired and I'm not sure I could handle working under anyone else. =(

Re: Summer Jobs/Interning
