I know there are those who have problems with their job, but how about those who really enjoy where they work, despite the negative stuff that happens occasionally. I will start out with the fact that I really love where I work...reasons:
The store owners are like mom and dad, they treat all the employees with respect and go out of their way to make them feel welcomed. A couple of their children also work for the company (in the office) and they are also very nice and friendly.
I have worked with the store manager for 16 years ( she has only been a store manager for 3 years) and she is my best friend, but she has no problem letting me know if I am not doing my job correctly. We never let our friendship come inbetween our working relationship because if the store fails, we all fail. She also works around my school schedule and will let me have any time off I need for what ever reasons. She never questions when I am sick, but on the flip side, I will come in on my days off if she needs me to or will come in early or stay late if there are problems, she knows this and rewards me for it.
I am a shift manager and my fellow shift managers and I get along pretty good, we have our moments, but we work out our difference quite well despite age differences. We tend to disagree at times but never hold a grudge, I trust them totally.
The crew of around 40 people are pretty diverse in ages, anywhere from 14 yrs old to 77 yrs old, they all have their moments and we do get some bad apples who don't last very long, but around 75 percent of the crew has been at the store anywhere from 1 year to 22 years. (Three of us have been there more than 10 years) We have a good working realtionship for the most part, but again when you have that many people you do tend to have differences, but when it comes to teamwork during the rush periods, I know I can count on most of them.
The store has been around since 1969 (third one in the nation) and we have built an awesome customer base. I would say that 90 percent of our customers are regular repeats, many who actually come in more than once a day to eat. They are really nice and treat us like old friends and we do the same. The other 10 percent are mainly tourists. We do get sucky customers from time to time, such as the drunks, the rowdy teens, the talking on the cell in drive thru, the cranky people, little kids that run around but it is tolerable. When I get frustrated I just come home and read CS and releive my stress..Ha! Ha!
We get discounted food, on and off the clock, vacation pay that we can use anytime through the year whether or not we take the time off, we get presents for Christmas (and a party), we get birthday cards with coupons for free food, on our anniversary date (the day we started) we get candy and presents and a Thank You note for our service.
So all in all, I still have some problems, as with any job, I still have frustrations but I really love my job and actually look forward to work each day!! I know I will have to leave when I graduate from college but the years have been pretty good.
So anyone else like their jobs?? Why? Just thought I would pose the question.
