McQuades Marketplace

McQuade's Marketplace is a nice place to work in the beginning. After a few years, the jobs gets old real quick. No one gets raises like they should when cost of living goes up. People who have worked  at McQuade's for years make the same amount as new employees. I have been given a variety of jobs to take care of daily and some task I dont believe are truly in my job description. Co-workers and management are friendly and make working at McQuade's a little enjoyable, but they can not fix everything. The hardest part of the job is dealing with rude customers and dealing with management who change the rules to make customers happy. I understand customer satisfaction is important and I agree, but don't set rules and policies and tell us to enforce them and then when the customer is not happy you give in. What kind of example are you showing? I wouldn't tell anyone NOT to work at McQuade's just don't expect growth or promotions. I think McQuade's makes a great part time job but it is definitely not a career job. The owner doesn't even take the time to know all his employees or ask an employee to do something, he goes through a manager to have the job done.

McQuades was not a bad place to work at for my first job. It was easy to learn how to work the registers and making friends was not a problem. McQuades taught me all about customer service and how to work in the food industry. I first learned how to work with money at McQuades. One thing that caused a problem was the managers at McQuades favored the people who worked their longer, compared to the people who were newer, which is actually the reason as to why I chose to leave. The most enjoyable part about working there was working back in the restaurant. I was able to interact with customers more one on one, and I could move around more freely rather than standing in one place for hours bagging groceries.

Good place to work, very relaxed, very little stress, easy job to learn, but hours vary every week so you can't plan around the job. Pay is minimum wage with no scheduled raises, but you can work as many hours as you want because they are always short on help, especially the closing shift from 2-10 pm. 
They do offer health insurance but deductible is very high so really not worth it. However, they are very good about giving you (unpaid) time off when you need it.

Typical work day world be 4-8 hours. It was never extremely busy unless it was a holiday. On average about 50 customers per day. I learned a lot about customer service and how important it is to communicate with your coworkers on things you're not sure of. I would say that hardest part of the job was finding a good flow to keep. And the most enjoyable part of the job was definitely getting to meet new people and hearing all of the tourists accents and leaning a cool little fact about them.

I have enjoyed working for this company for the last five years. We are a small, family owned business. I have made awesome relationships along the way and have taken on larger roles than just being a cashier. My department is incredibly flexible with adjusting ones schedule. When I started my current job they allowed me to keep one shift, and will call me to see if I'm able to help out on other days. Overall it's a great place to work.

Hours arent reliable but they offer benefits,(401k, health ins(not affordable), holiday pay, time and a half on sundays, they work with you when you have schedule issues and have been very good to me. I dont think they give raises and also they over staff which is good cause ppl need jobs but they sometimes cut your hours down to nothing for a week or 2 when you need money the most.

I started in one department part time. Eventually learned every department except deli, and they made me night time store manager. I loved it except the fact my pay was legit the same as when I started. Never got a raise except for minimum raise increases in 5 years. 

As long as you kept your head down and  did your job it was a good day. Co-workers are like family and customers were really appreciable if you would go out of your way for them. Management could be better, felt very under appreciated from management verses customers

What is the best part of working at the company?
Nice place to work, coworkers and managers are great! Super nice customers. Fast paced.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Standing for long periods of time.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
I think they are up with the times. They give everyone a fair shake!

If you are a hard working individual, it is very easy to advance in this company but you have to put forward the effort. I have worked for this company for nine years and they have accommodated my changing lifestyle due to my loyalty to their company.
