El Rio Grande Latin Market

If you are a hard working employee department management will be flexible with your schedule, but you will find yourself constantly overworked because of no work standards and lack of training for coworkers. The pay here is fair with respect to the skill necessary to work here. However, some coworkers would complain of overworking because of lack of organization and training.  Pay raises are very hard to get, only if you are very hard working will you be able to ask for a raise, and even then you will struggle to ever see it. Management is absolutely horrible. No level of management follows the rules or industry standards. Store managers are lazy, inconsistent, very lax with department managers. This trickles down all the way to the lowest of employees. Lack of training is rampant, because not even the department managers are well trained, and unaccountable for their performance. This stems from bad corporate leadership. Also met one of the owners and he was rude.

Start of at 7am if opening store . Daily deposit and change orders. Walk the floor and aisles to see if all in place fronted and stocked. Daily gatherings with head department managers for forecast of sales and talk about ways to improve sales and improve. Talk with merchandisers and vendors of different companies on brief of new product coming out to the floor or any displays to be assembled etc. Handle and incidents throughout day with staff, management , corporate office and/or customers. Always to have our guest and customers to have a great grocery shopping experience. Shift ended with count of safe and all cash on hand counted for . Petty cash and all etc. Leave around 3-5pm .  Closing shift was all same except for hours of start and end of shift . 2pm started the shift and closing of store at 10pm . Would end the day and leave the store at 10:30pm and at times later . We always have late night shoppers .Its a given in the industry of grocery and retail .

El Rio Grande is good for a person who wants to only be a cashier and doesn't seek to grow. However, even as a cashier the management isn't the best. The minute you get on their bad side they single you out and start messing with your schedule. While that was never the case for me it wasn't something fair. If you're someone who's really good at your job and you want to move up then it's hard. If they have a period where a lot of people, especially in management, they are quick to put you in that position-- without the pay. I worked there for two years and only got one raise but before I put in my two weeks that had had me doing manager work for the basically the same pay as a cashier. They use you when they need you but they don't respect you unless you put your foot down and even then they are hard to take on for yourself.

A typical day at my job would be, 
greeting the customer when ready to check out. Making sure they’ve found everything they needed, and assist the customer if lost or needs help.
 At my job I’ve learned the customer is always right. If I ever need help don’t be afraid to ask questions. 
The management at work is good. Managers always make sure everyone feels  comfortable and safe in the environment wether it’s around customers, other employees, or with the managers themselves.
 The hardest part of my job would have to be dealing with picky customers, but I learn to deal with it and put my best effort.
The most enjoyable part of my job will have to be my coworkers. Being able to communicate and get to know each other.

Make sure that all products are perfectly ordered to attract customer's attention.
 	Responsible for recruitment process, training and schedule.
 	Supervised staff operations to increase profitability.
 	Assigned sufficient workers to meet clients' demand on the store.
 	Reported store standards and incidents directly to CEOs.
 	Inventory Responsible

 	Control of TPR’S and store specials
 	Worked with suppliers to place orders for new merchandise.
 	Maintained stocks levels in the store.
 	Contracted qualified personnel to meet the department store's needs.

I started working here with good energy, but customers and managers will wear you down.  Since you are surrounded by co-workers with similar backgrounds, it will make the job somewhat more bearable.  Nonetheless, this job has a high turnout rate, especially when management is rotated among the other stores and because cashiers are usually teenagers.  Being used to old management will make new management harder to adapt to, especially when new management has crazier ideas than the last.  Overall, this job has the potential to be better and can improve to be both customer AND worker-friendly

Working as a cashier at El Rio Grande is great if you love to socialize, the store prides itself with its community feeling with employees and customers. Working here as a cashier you will be asked to help out in basically every single department from outside carts to the meat market in the back as they are frequently short staffed  due to the low pay they offer. Shift leads are all very kind and easy to get along with. Very very very extremely questionable hygiene and cleanliness practices all around the store. Overall a great starter job if you are a high schooler and want to connect with the community around you you will work anywhere from 25-35 hours a week. 

I applied there for the summer and right of the bat I was hired. That should’ve been my first red flag. While working there, the manager of my department was barely there, so there would be lack of materials we needed for the shift and it made the shift harder. Working here stressed me out because I never knew if we had enough for the entirety of the shift. Also, there was a lot of drama between employees and the managers didn’t care to solve it. Employees were underpaid and overworked. I met employees that were there for years and wouldn’t get raises. Just sad and awful. Left after I realized they don’t value their employees.

Is a stressful job you get flexible time you don't have control on you schedules always ask the manager before if you can be off or changes it if you can't come that hour if you going to be late. Before the next week. Sometimes the manager ask me to stay a lit be more the were no staff. It the being is was kinda hard but get used to it after few months later get easy. Deal with customers some were rude   come with complaints after the ends you came to work not to give trouble but everything else is was okay.
