J&H Family Stores

J&H is a good place to work. Throughout the work day you can have insanely busy times with lines to the door, or times when you have no customers for half an hour. Managers were flexible about time off if requested in advance, but calling in sick is very difficult. Hours are set, so they can't work around your schedule if you have classes or kids you need to pick up. The managers are good about giving you more or less hours if you request it. Pay is above minimum wage with scheduled raises. There is a strict dress code, so no facial piercings, colored hair or crazy hairstyles, and you need to have the uniform perfect. There are often check ins from corporate, so you can get written up for wearing jeans, a cardigan/ sweatshirt, not having a name tag, etc. The hardest part of the job is dealing with difficult customers, or customers who harass female employees. The best part was the coworkers, and the regular customers who you can develop a great relationship with.

I was pregnant while working here and was the best employee he had.  As a matter of fact, after 2 months of me working there, he asked me out of all his employees, to run the store while he was on vacation.  He had no respect for the women that worked there and bullied us around like we were "just women" and he could but than showed intimidation around the men.  I worked for him, and was an extremely good worker, from the time I became pregnant with no ridiculous requests or using my pregnancy as an excuse to get out of doing certain tasks and when I was around 8 months pregnant even asking him to sit down for 5 minutes to get off my feet around 10:30 in the morning when ive been there since 4:30 was a problem for him.  Even with a doctors note he still wouldn't give me a chance to sit without having to respond to customers, in which I did.  I could go on and on.

I absolutely loved this job; though to me this was more like a second home.  Whenever a co-worker would call in it seemed like I was always there picking up extra shifts.  I loved seeing my regulars everyday and then the occasional driver that would pass through and ask how I was; the ones I made a connection with I miss the most!  I had a good relationship with my boss, he was a very laid back kind of guy.  I enjoyed most of my co-workers; given the occasional tiff everything went smoothly.  The hardest part of my job was the fact that I could try as hard as I wanted to ensure that each customer had a great experience but it wasn't always guaranteed that they left satisfied.  I loved the busy work environment; it made the day fly by!!!

Work days are usually consistent with job duties, but duties also depend on the shift being worked. This job is a great way to learn time management, general efficiency, and how to prioritize different tasks based on the current situation. The management was pretty easy to work with, but there is no evening manager due to the gas station manager's presence. 

The most difficult part of the job is maintaining that balance between keeping the workplace clean, while keeping the ingredients fresh and stocked in between serving customers.

On the other end, the most enjoyable part of this job is probably the interactions with regulars, and looking forward to seeing them most days.

A decent place to work for. I do a lot of different things. I keep track of inventory, daily paperwork, making schedules, managing employees, providing excellent customer service along with my employees, providing quality product following specific formulas. They had okay training for management, which has greatly improved over the years since I started training. Depending on which part of the company you work for, management is good. Some are too busy to talk, some micro-manage, some have favorites and some lack professionalism. They do like to hire within, but there isn't much more advancement after store manager. The most enjoyable part is when you have a great crew who helps support their manager.

What is the best part of working at the company?
J&H family stores is by far the greatest family owned business I've ever had the opportunity to work for. J & H family stores are filled with MI made products by MI  family's. It Turley is my favorite store to shop. It is not only products made just in MI but products made in the USA! I'm so proud  to be a part of the J & H Family!

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
I wouldn't say stressful really, but I would say exciting stress that comes  along with being a part of opening another  J & H store in MI with the J & H family.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Always friendly, and so many opportunities for individual & family growth in the J & H family businesses.

This was just a customer service job. I delt with money and people all day. I would normally open the store at 4am set up coffee and breakfast sandwhiches. I ran a register for the most part. I did recieve different inventory throughout the days depending on the days of the week. I had to stock shelves and coolers. Co workers were great. They did have a problem keeping a manager in the store I was there about 7 or 8 months and they had 3 different boss's in that short time which was very difficult because everytime someone new came they would change how the store was ran.

My manger scheduled me for a 3 hour shift and 2 5 hour shifts a week. No one can support a family on 12 hours a week. Staff were all high school kids, rude, unwilling to help new employees. I was barely trained then yelled at when I was standing around because i wasn’t sure how to do what i was being asked because no one trained me. Then got attitude from the manager when she had to teach me. You got half off one 6 inch while clocked in, but good luck actually getting to use that because it was always so swamped. The 2 months I worked there I took 3 ACTUAL lunch breaks. Remember, at subway, 5 minute smoke breaks are excessive and rude to your co workers.

I love the job, but manager lies all the time says one thing and never follows through. He gives out personal info and talks about all employees to other employees. Was promised more hours and that was a month ago. Said I need to find another part time job and manager said not too he would give me more hours...lie. I cant live off of 260 270 a week have family and Bill's. I so love my job but manager needs help. Sits in his office and takes nap or just watches camera while you struggle to get things done with just two of you and wait on over 300 hundred customers just yourself. Wish he was not a liar and not a story teller and just a helper

A typical day at work was hanging out with and helping out my customers! I learned many things throughout my 7 years there. Mainly, a little help goes a long way and gratitude is a very good practice. I had been through 7 bosses in 7 years. Workplace culture is conformity. The hardest part of the job was realizing after 7 years, two call ins, two tardies, impeccable record and all my contributions; I was just a number and meant nothing to them. One mistake. The most enjoyable part of my job was, and always will be, my customers!   I am forever grateful for them!
